'''''The Illustrated Man''''' is a 1951 collection of 18 [[science fiction]] [[Short story|short stories]] by American writer [[Ray Bradbury]]. A recurring theme throughout the stories is the conflict of the cold mechanics of [[technology]] and the [[psychology]] of people. It was nominated for the [[International Fantasy Award]] in 1952.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.locusmag.com/SFAwards/Db/Ifa1952.html |website= Locusmag.com| title= Index to SF Awards | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121016203418/http://locusmag.com/SFAwards/Db/Ifa1952.html |archivedate=2012-10-16 }}</ref>

The unrelated stories are tied together by the [[frame story]] of "The Illustrated Man", a [[vagrancy (people)|vagrant]] former member of a carnival [[freak show]] with an extensively [[tattoo]]ed body whom the unnamed narrator meets. The man's tattoos, allegedly created by a [[time travel|time-traveling]] woman, are individually animated, and each tells a different tale.

All but one of the stories had been published previously elsewhere, although Bradbury revised some of the texts for the book's publication.

The book was made into the 1969 film, ''[[The Illustrated Man (film)|The Illustrated Man]]'', starring [[Rod Steiger]] and [[Claire Bloom]]. It presents adaptations of the stories "[[The Veldt (short story)|The Veldt]]", "[[The Long Rain]]" and "The Last Night of the World".

Some of the stories, including "The Veldt", "The Fox and the Forest" (as "To the Future"), "[[Marionettes, Inc.]]", and "Zero Hour" were also dramatized for the 1955–1957 radio series ''[[X Minus One]]''. "The Veldt", "The Concrete Mixer", "The Long Rain", "Zero Hour", and "Marionettes Inc." were adapted for ''[[The Ray Bradbury Theater]]'' television series. "The Fox and the Forest" was adapted by Terry Nation for the 1965 [[BBC]] television series ''[[Out of the Unknown]]''.

==Story summaries==
===The Veldt===
{{main|The Veldt (short story)}}
Parents in a futuristic society George and Lydia Hadley worry about their children Wendy and Peter Hadley's mental health when their new [[virtual reality]] nursery, which can produce any environment the children imagine, continually projects an African [[veldt]], populated by lions feasting on carcasses. David McClean, a [[child psychologist]] suggests that the automated house is not good for Wendy and Peter's development, nor George and Lydia's, and insists they disable the automation and take a vacation to become more self-sufficient.

Wendy and Peter are not pleased with this decision but later coolly agree to it. Wendy and Peter trap George and Lydia in the nursery, where they become prey to the lions. They later have lunch on the veldt with McClean. He then see the lions feasting but does not recognize what has happened.

The crew of a space ship drift helplessly through space after their craft malfunctions. The story describes the final thoughts and conversations of the crew members as they face their death. The narrator Hollis bitterly reflects on his life and feels he has accomplished nothing worthwhile. His final thought is a wish that his life would at least be worth something to someone else. As he falls through Earth's atmosphere and is incinerated, he appears as a [[Meteor|shooting star]] to a child in Illinois.

The black people take pity on the white travelers and accept them into their new society.

===The Highway===
Hernando and his wife living by a highway in rural [[Mexico]] live their simple, regimented lives while the highway fills with refugees of a nuclear war.

After the travelers leave, Hernando wonders what they meant by "the world," before returning to his work as normal.

===The Man===
Space explorers find a planet where the population is in a state of bliss. Upon investigation, they discover that an enigmatic visitor came to them, whom the spacemen come to believe is [[Jesus]]. One explorer, Martin, decides to spend his life rejoicing in the man's glory. Another, Captain Hart, uses the spaceship to try to catch up to the mysterious traveller, but at each planet he finds that "He" has just left after spreading his message. Other members of the crew remain on the planet to learn from the contented citizens, and are rewarded by the discovery that "He" is still on the planet.

Searching for another sun dome, the characters, one by one, are driven to madness and suicide by the unrelenting rhythm of the rain. At the end of the story, only one astronaut, the Lieutenant remains. His sanity in question, he finds a functional sun dome.

===The Rocket Man===
Narrator Doug remembers his astronaut father coming home after a three-month space flight, one summer when Doug was 14. His father tried to interest himself in Earth life, but after a few days he felt the urge to return to space. He warned Doug not to become an astronaut, always torn between Earth and space and at risk of a million deaths. Doug's mother Lilly prepared a Thanksgiving dinner the night before his father's departure, even though she had long ago accepted that he would die in space and had detached herself emotionally. The next morning his father assured them that the mission would be his last. After word arrived that his father's rocket had fallen into the sun, Doug and Lilly shunned the daylight.

===The Fire Balloons===
A group of priests travels to [[Mars]] to act as [[missionary|missionaries]] to the Martians. They discover that the natives are entities of pure energy. Since they lack corporeal form, they are unable to commit sin, and thus do not need redemption.

===The Exiles===
{{main|The Exiles (Bradbury story)}}
Numerous works of literature are banned and burned on Earth. The deceased authors of these books live in a kind of afterlife on Mars. Though dead, they are still vulnerable in the sense that when all of an author's works are destroyed, the author vanishes permanently. The authors learn that people are coming from Earth, and they stage their retribution. Their efforts are foiled when the astronauts burn the last remaining books, annihilating the entire colony.

===No Particular Night or Morning===
Two friends in a spaceship, Clemens and Hitchcock, discuss the emptiness and cold of space. The slightly eccentric Hitchcock embraces [[solipsism]], and repeatedly insists that nothing in space is real and there is no night or morning. He refuses to believe anything about reality without sufficient evidence and soon becomes skeptical of everything he cannot directly experience. He says that he does not believe in stars, because they are too far away. Clemens learns that Hitchcock has left the ship. Hitchcock continues to mumble to himself as he dies of exposure to the void of space.

===The Fox and the Forest===
William and Susan Travis, a couple living in a war-ravaged future society on the brink of collapse uses time travel to escape to 1938 Mexico.

In the struggle, Mark is killed and the escape he provided is lost forever.

===The Concrete Mixer===
Ettil, a reluctant Martian man is forced to join the army as they prepare to invade Earth. When they arrive, they are welcomed by a world at peace, full of people who are curious rather than aggressive. Ettil meets Joe Melton, a movie director, and it becomes clear that the people of Earth have planned to exploit the Martians for financial gain. He tries to escape to Mars, but is run over by a car and killed.

===Marionettes, Inc.===
{{main|Marionettes, Inc.}}
An unhappily married man, Braling, buys a realistic robot who looks exactly like him, Braling Two, from Marionettes, Inc. Braling Two acts as a surrogate so that Braling does not have to deal with his wife, who trapped him into marriage by getting pregnant and threatening to turn him in for rape if he leaves her. While Braling's friend Smith considers getting his own robot doppelgänger, he discovers that his wife Nettie already has replaced herself with one. Braling Two falls in love with Mrs. Braling. Arguing that he is better at providing for her than Braling, Braling Two locks the real man in the crate in which the robot was delivered.<ref>2001 printing by William Morrow{{citation needed|date=August 2015}}</ref>

When the Moral Climate Monitors come to visit, each of them is killed in a manner reminiscent of a different Poe story, culminating in the [[immurement]] of the lead inspector. When all of Stendahl's persecutors are dead, the house sinks into the lake.

==Reception==
In ''[[The New York Times]]'' in February 1951, Villiers Gerson praised the book for its "three-dimensional people with whom it is easy to sympathize, to hate, and to admire".<ref>{{cite news|title=Realm of the Spacemen |work=[[The New York Times Book Review]] |date=February 4, 1951}}</ref>

In July 1951 Gerson praised ''The Illustrated Man'' in ''[[Astounding Science Fiction]]'' as "a book which demonstrates that its author is one of the most literate and spellbinding writers in science fiction today".<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Book Reviews |magazine=[[Analog Science Fiction and Fact|Astounding Science Fiction]] |date=July 1951 |page=155}}</ref>

Contemporary reviewers [[Anthony Boucher]] and [[J. Francis McComas]] gave ''The Illustrated Man'' a mixed review in ''[[The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction]]'' in August 1951, faulting the framing story as "markedly ineffective" and the story selection for being "less than wisely chosen". However, they found the better stories "provide a feast [from] the finest traditions in imaginative fiction"<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Recommended Reading |magazine=The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction|date=August 1951 |page=84}}</ref> and, writing for the same magazine in April 1952, named it among 1951's top books.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Recommended Reading |magazine=[[The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction]] |date=April 1952 |page=96}}</ref>

=== The Ray Bradbury Chronicles (concept album, 2025) ===
The closing track of the instrumental concept album ''The Ray Bradbury Chronicles''<ref>{{Cite web |last=The Electricity Club |date=2025-02-03 |title=LEVENTE The Ray Bradbury Chronicles |url=https://www.electricityclub.co.uk/levente-the-ray-bradbury-chronicles/ |access-date=2025-04-17 |website=ELECTRICITYCLUB.CO.UK |language=en-GB}}</ref> was inspired by the short story. The electronic composition conveys the plot's key moments via soundscapes that express the main protagonist's journey, with his descent to Earth (seen as a shooting star by a child) symbolized by a fading heartbeat and the appearance of a piano motif that is an Earthly counterpoint to the [[Electronic music|electronic]] textures heard until that point.
