INTERVIEWER
One of the most popular stories in the book
[The Martian Chronicles] is “There Will Come Soft Rains,” about a mechanized house that
continues to operate after the atomic bomb has been dropped. There are
no people in that story. Where did you get the idea for that?
BRADBURY
After Hiroshima was bombed I saw a
photograph of the side of a house with the shadows of the people who had
lived there burned into the wall from the intensity of the bomb. The
people were gone, but their shadows remained. That affected me so much, I
wrote the story.
