The Illustrated Man is a 1951 collection of eighteen science fiction short stories by American writer Ray Bradbury. A recurring theme throughout the eighteen stories is the conflict of the cold mechanics of technology and the psychology of people. It was nominated for the International Fantasy Award in 1952.
Some of these speculative short fictions are a bit dated, but others could have been written yesterday. And there isn't a bad one among them. I only regret that I didn't read this collection sooner.
