Status Updates From The Illustrated Man

Just read the fourth story, "The Highway". During a rainstorm, a Mexican man named Hernando watches thousands of tourists fleeing Mexico and going back to America. When the final car arrives, he waters their radiator and learns from the driver that a nuclear war has started that will end the world. Then the car flees as well and Hernando goes on with his work. That sounds horrible!

Just read the third story, "The Other Foot". The black colonizers on Mars learn that a white man is coming by rocket. Willie Johnson, whose parents were lynched, proposes a Jim Crow system against the whites, until he learns that a nuclear war has destroyed the planet and killed almost everybody. The sympathetic black folk welcome the white folk onto their planet. Great story!
