Short Fiction Focus: "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury
“The Veldt”, originally published in 1950 in The Saturday Evening Post, is one of Ray Bradbury’s most famous stories and in many ways it’s a prophetic one about technology, addiction, and parenting. At the time of it’s publication it felt like science-fiction. Today, however, it leans a bit too much into realism to be a wholly comfortable read. So in this episode David, Heidi, and Sean dig into what makes the story so memorable. Happy listening!
