A review by shetan1992
There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury

5.0

I read this short story back in 8th grade many years ago, and it's lingered with me ever since as one of my favorites. It's a beautiful, somber little piece about a faithful "smart" home still autonomously continuing it's daily tasks, only for the reader to realize in the end that this is a post-nuclear apocolypse and the only thing left is the machines who are slowly dying off themselves. It's still as poignant today as it was when it was written nearly 70 years ago.
