“THESE PICTURES SHOW THE FUTURE.”

Ray Bradbury is one of the masters of not only science fiction but also fantasy literature and horror in the twentieth century. Perhaps the first author to prove that science fiction can also be "good literature". The Illustrated Man, in which he displays all his talents and writes in frame story format, is a unique collection of stories that sheds light on the psychology of the modern individual and the dark side of technological progress.

Illustrated Man, whose entire body is covered with moving tattoos, has not been able to find a permanent job for almost forty years and cannot even work at carnivals anymore. Because the tattoos on his cursed body show the future. The fate of the person who spends a certain amount of time next to him appears in the Illustrated Man's body.

Stories are revealed one by one through his tattoos. A total of seventeen stories, as naive as a child's dreams and as powerful as the realities of a scientist, come to life in the body of the Illustrated Man.

Addressing many issues about humanity, from death to beliefs, from nuclear war to racism, from the end of the world to our loneliness in space, Bradbury creates a science fiction classic that confronts our dreams with reality and criticizes, makes us think and terrifies us.

The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscope of science fiction.
