Unforgettable stories such as “The Veldt” and “The Rocket Man” explore the dehumanizing nature of technology. The Illustrated Man (1951)-a wider-ranging companion to the classic story cycle The Martian Chronicles-contains eighteen tales of incandescent imagination, each taking as its point of departure the mysterious body art of an elaborately tattooed outcast. This second volume of Library of America’s definitive Bradbury edition gathers two of his most celebrated collections and twenty-seven other stories that together represent his best short fiction. The author of more than four hundred short stories, Bradbury was a master not only of science fiction but also of horror and dark fantasy, and his works-by turns thrilling, disorienting, and inspiring-have been touchstones for readers young and old for generations. “I was warped early by Ray Bradbury,” Margaret Atwood once recalled, describing an experience familiar to many readers.
