"Man Against Tomorrow" Edited by William F. Nolan is probably the best collection of Science Fiction stories that I have read.
All the stories in the volume are great, but my personal favorites are:"The Room" by Ray Russell in which the main character will do anything to escape the incessant bombardment of future business advertising.
"After The Sirens" by Hugh Hood is a frightening real-time depiction of an attack on a city with a nuclear weapon.
"The Seventh Victim" by Robert Sheckley envisions a time when it has become legal for people to kill other people for recreation.
In "The Freeway" by George Clayton Johnson a middle aged man feels helpless when something goes awry in a future automated transportation infrastructure.
and lastly: "Nobody Starves" by Ron Goulart is a hilarious satire of a lone man trying to fight a tangled future government bureaucracy.
