Rendition In Favor Of Books There Will Come Soft Rains

One of Ray Bradbury’s most poignant short stories, this also has one his most recognized scenes.

Quietly, somberly describing a smart house after a nuclear holocaust, Bradbury uses this Cold War theme as a vehicle to explore our technological advances and how those same advances can lead to dehumanizing results.

The title comes from Sara Teasdale’s 1920 poem “There Will Come Soft Rains” and Bradbury quotes the text and uses the lyric quality of the work to emphasize his own message:

“There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.”

First published in 1950 in Collier’s Magazine, Bradbury shared with many of this era an anxiety about nuclear war. The memory of the United States’ bombing of Japan and the escalating weapons race with the Soviet Union provide a stark backdrop for the gentle, cautionary tale.

One of his best short works.

Column Out Of Books There Will Come Soft Rains

A classic SF short story by Ray Bradbury, about an intelligent house carrying on in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster. Bradbury creates a melancholy world with many small details, as the house takes care of breakfast and informs the absent owners of things that need to be done. And then this sobering paragraph:The garden sprinklers whirled up in golden founts, filling the soft morning air with scatterings of brightness. The water pelted windowpanes, running down the charred west side where the

The end after the end. On 4th of August 2026, a single house stands in the midst of ruin. The lone warrior is the only thing that hasn't perished in the aftermath of the war and like the champ that it is, it continues on with it's daily chores while all else has fallen apart.The thing that would stay with me long after I've forgotten the absolute details of this story is the impenetrable feeling of lonliness that I felt coursing through me with each word impressed upon my skin.In this house

I loved the way he described how technology hunts people.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/play/b007...2026: With surroundings destroyed and devoid of human life, an automated house carries on... Ray Bradbury's short story starring Joan Miller as the Woman and David King-Wood as Commentator Music composed and conducted by Antony Hopkins

The thing about this story is that it is great if you keep in mind that it was written in 1950, when the idea of an automated house wasn't yet a sci-fi mainstay. Today, it is rather 'meh', and there are certainly better short-stories out there.But as with perhaps every other item on my short-story shelf, it can be found free online, so you might has well give it your 15 minutes.

A strange, lonely, post apocalyptic classic, without a single human soul left to shake their fists and shout at the sky.This 70s BBC Radiophonic workshop adaption inadvertently gives an alternative histories version simultaneously futuristic and old fashioned: a proto-Librivox / automated pitch modulation and tone....what with our crisply precise non digital bot timbre of your Siris and your Google assistants.*Excuse the bad Stewart Lee impressionhttps://youtu.be/ZS7LPi72HCI

Perhaps it's my love of the Fallout games, perhaps it's my soft spot for Ray Bradbury, but this science-fiction short story is one of the greatest I have ever read. The day is August 4, 2026. A robotic house attempts to wake it's inhabitants, to no avail. Undeterred, the house goes about it's daily schedule. It all seems harmless enough, until we learn that the family had died, destroyed in a nuclear blast. Things only get worse when a starving dog (perhaps the family's own, though it is
