A haunting short story with poetic imagery set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world. Bradbury, the master of short stories masterfully captures the eerie loneliness of a world devoid of humans. It raises profound questions about humanity, technological advancements and our environment. The title is borrowed from Sarah Teasdale's poem There Will Come Soft Rains, giving it a satirical twist.
