This is an audiobook reading for "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury.
In Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains,” an automated house in a post-apocalyptic world continues its daily routines despite the absence of its human inhabitants. The house, equipped with advanced technology, performs tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and reading poetry with precise efficiency. However, it becomes evident that a catastrophic event, likely a nuclear war, has obliterated human life, leaving the house as the sole witness to the desolation.
The story contrasts the house's mechanical perfection with the emptiness of the surrounding environment. As the house goes about its activities, it eventually suffers damage from a fire and ultimately succumbs to destruction, symbolizing the impermanence of human achievements. The poem recited by the house, “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Sara Teasdale, echoes the theme that nature will continue to thrive even after humanity is gone. The narrative underscores the transitory nature of human existence and the enduring strength of the natural world.
