Just re-read Illustrated Man after reading it more than 50 years ago. Even scarier today. Everyone should at least read the first story, The Veldt, about the nursery. WOW! And I find Bradbury incredibly futuristic in his ability to see a future 50 years ahead. The story Kaleidoscope, about astronauts lost in space,was written several years before anyone had a space program!
If you've never read this before, try it; if you read it years ago like I, give it another go. you'll be surprised. ...more

Through this book I first discovered Ray Bradbury and I was deeply impressed by his short novels. I believe this book is one of the ones I would recommend for anyone to read it.
My copy of this book is in romanian and it is an edition that contains only 8 of the total of 18 short novels included in the original edition.
