Yes.
The Illustrated Man is made up of eighteen short stories. The framing story is of a tattooed man whom the narrator meets, and whose tattoos foretell the future. The eighteen short stories inside the frame give Ray Bradbury's visions of our future and, in the process, let us see ourselves as we are in the past and present.
Oh I almost forgot, had to add this.
Did you know that they made a movie about this? It was in 1969 I believe.

Read it many years ago. if you are into older movies, there was a movie with Rod Steiger which dramatized several of the stories within the novel. Most of the stories began as just short stories but Bradbury wove them into a novel using the man covered in tatoos whose tatoos come to life if you watch them long enough.

Yes. I love his work. All of his short story collections are worth it if you like The Illustrated Man.

What a really cool book.
It was quite scary in some places, especially the story about the children and the african themed room.
Its a good mix of short stories, sad thought provoking and scary.

It's been a very long time since I've read it, but I really liked it.I have to say that I liked Fahrenheit 451 better, though.
