Soft Rains, Silent Futures
Have you ever wondered what a post-apocalyptic world would look like? A world where humans no longer exist due to war, disease, natural disasters, or AI domination?
As new college students—especially City Tech freshmen exploring careers in technology, design, or media—these questions might feel especially real. With AI and war in the news, it’s natural to wonder: What kind of future are we heading toward? If you are interested in stories about the future, technology, and human conflict, these ideas may appeal to you.
Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” (1950) imagines a future where humanity is gone, but machines keep working. This website helps you explore that story and consider what it means for your life, values, and dreams.
