The Martian Chronicles is the only short story collection I've read. So something like that would be great. But I'm open to other kinds of recs too.

I want books with good enough prose tho. Bad or flat prose is a turn off for me.

I have always enjoyed Burning Chrome by William Gibson. It's OG cyberpunk sci-fi, it includes the Johnny Mnemonic short story the 90s movie was (loosely) based on.
