Have I ever mentioned how much I enjoy Ray Bradbury? This is a haunting story that is reminiscent of Brave New world moreso than 1984. It just makes one think about how careful we should be with technology. Granted, this specific scenario is probably out of the realm of possibility, but it still provides something to think about. Most of the parallels to Brave New World come in the warnings about the possibilities of technology. But really I would just like to ramble coherently about how interesting I found The Veldt to be. So this is what I will do.
While the concept of patricide (or matricide...) does not enchant me, it is a captivating story. I have read Bradbury's The Illustrated Man... and became an early science fiction fan because of it. Thus my familiarity with this story... that I have just now realized. In my own defense, it was a long time ago. Anyway, I am getting to the point. I enjoy dystopian literature because it provokes deep thought about the human condition. This is not something many people enjoy thinking about, but it's why I love Shakespeare and science fiction... and all of the things I love. I like to think.. deeply, about the things I do not understand.
