The Illustrated Man

I read a couple of short stories from this one in the past when I hadn't known it was all part of one compilation. In a very interesting way, Bradbury mixes in various themes like racism, cloning/robotics, domesticity, religion etc. with sci-fi and has achieved quite amazing results. I loved the idea behind the illustrated man having each illustration come to life and those being the very tales we read. I loved the way each individual story connected with the whole bigger picture and how they connect us, readers, with something familiar yet unfamiliar. I believe there's a certain depth given to each story, much to ponder upon despite it being written in the 1950s. Each unique story transported me somewhere and gave me perspectives that I wouldn't have been able to conjure up otherwise.
