There Will Come Soft Rains Ray Bradbury

Bradbury was born August 22, He died June 5, 2012 at the age of 91. He is a famous horror, sci-fi, mystery and fantasy writer. Best known works are Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man, and Dandelion Wine.

Ray Bradbury His most chilling stories comment on the human consequence of progress. “Science ran too far ahead of us too quickly,” Bradbury once remarked, “and the people got lost in a mechanical wilderness.” Bradbury has lived to see some of his frightening concerns come true.

There Will Come Soft Rains The short story is an excerpt from a collection entitled The Martian Chronicles. The collection was published in Many of the short stories were based on a futuristic society. Like many authors, Bradbury was inspired by the events that took place around him.

There Will Come Soft Rains Science fiction writers of this period often created works featuring utopias (ideal worlds) in which machines freed people of difficult tasks. In There Will Come Soft Rains, Bradbury challenges the idea by presenting a society harmed by modern technology.

Hiroshima On Monday, August 6, 1945 the first atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It killed 80,000 people instantly. Over the next year, more than 100,000 people died from radiation poisoning.
