Ray
Bradbury – There Will Come Softs Rains
Collier's
magazine published Ray Bradbury's classic science fiction story, "There Will Come Soft Rains",
describing the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust with the setting of a computer-controlled
house that continued to operate after the death of its occupants. In the story,
the setting was the fictional city of Allendale, California, on the then-future
date of April
28, 1985. When
the story was reprinted as a chapter in Bradbury's book The Martian Chronicles, the future date
would be revised to August 4, 2026
