Publisher's Summary

The Illustrated Man, a seminal work in Ray Bradbury's career, whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time's passage....

Ray Bradbury brings wonders alive. For this peerless American storyteller, the most bewitching force in the universe is human nature. In these 18 startling tales unfolding across a canvas of tattooed skin, living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. Provocative and powerful, The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth - as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world.

Amazing

Bradbury was a genius, a man ahead of his time and its reflected in his works. This was the first book I ever read of his back in the day before audio books, before the internet and only a years after the moon landing. It was such a pleasure to hear it read to me and apologize for not remembering who read it to me but he was a great choice. Seriously any Bradbury book is worth the listen!!! Thanks for this.

Classic

It’s been a long time since I read this, and it was wonderful to hear it read with such emotions.

Like black mirror

This book is like a series of black mirror episodes where the author is obsessed with going to or coming from mars. And he likes to use the word rocket a lot.
Take it for what you will. I’d pass.
