A review by ana_kp
A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury
4.0
A short sci-fi story, set in 2055, a hundred years into the future from when it was written, tells a story of how a small change in the past can affect the future.
It posits some really great theories of how an ecosystem and all its dependents rely on each other, and how changing one tiny detail can have unknowable effects on the future.
Our MC, Eckles, strays off the destined Path – a floating, anti-gravity road – accidentally changing the future. This is also what, I think, inspired the "a butterfly flaps it's wings on one side of the world, and a hurricane forms on the other side" saying.
4⭐️
