The Illustrated Man
Last updated October 31, 2026
By Ray Bradbury
Ray Bradbury's narrator meets a drifter on a country road whose body is covered in tattoos that move at night, and each one becomes a story about the future. The eighteen stories include The Veldt, about children and a nursery that brings their imaginings to life, Kaleidoscope, about astronauts drifting apart in space, and The Rocket Man. Together they consider technology, family, fear and the wonder and loneliness of space travel.
