Video of a spinning turntable playing a recording of Leonard Nimoy narrating Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains” “In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunnyside up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk. Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city o Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake.”
