Status Updates From The Illustrated Man, by Ray...

Finished "The Concrete Mixer". Ettil is given a job to work as a technical director on a new Hollywood picture about the Martians, which includes horrific stereotypes. Ettil realizes the people of Earth just want to exploit the Martians for a profit. Fearing that Earth people will be the death of the Martians, Ettil decides to leave Earth, only to be run over by some drunk teenagers. Holy shit! Great story!

"¿Cuál es en verdad la coreografía con que engaño a la muerte?
Un cuento tras cuento, [...]"
"Y para eso mismo escribo, escribo, escribo, al mediodía o a las tres de la mañana.
Para no estar muerto", dice Ray Bradbury en el prólogo de esta edición, "Bailando, para no estar muerto". Me encantó.

Ettil does not like Earth life, noticing people killed by cars and hating when Earth-women come and bother him with things like religion and going to movies. He's really having a feeling that all of this is a trap. He writes a letter to his wife about it and promises to escape. However, he ends up coming across a man in a black car who wants to talk to him, sounding like a show business guy. Who is this guy?

I really like the first two stories and prologue. Lots of fun to analyze
