We've made a shelf just for classic #ScienceFiction in the SF section, here are three Joe has loved over the year:
The Illustrated Man: as a youngster, this short story collection was my gateway into the works of Ray Bradbury (still reading him today)
I Am Legend, Matheson's slim classic (oft-filmed, never really quite getting the book) captures that era of Cold War paranoia, fear and isolation
