There Will Come Soft Rains

Book • 2000
In 'There Will Come Soft Rains', Ray Bradbury explores a haunting scenario where a house in Allendale, California, remains intact after a nuclear catastrophe.

The automated systems within the house continue their routine, oblivious to the absence of human life.

The story is a powerful commentary on the futility of technology in the face of human destruction.

It was first published in 1950 and later included in 'The Martian Chronicles'.
