"The Veldt" is a short story by Ray Bradbury that explores the impact of technology on family dynamics. Set in a futuristic home equipped with a virtual reality nursery, the story follows the Hadley family, particularly the children, Peter and Wendy, who become increasingly obsessed with the realistic African savanna simulation. As the parents, George and Lydia, grow concerned about their children's fixation, they discover that the nursery reflects their subconscious thoughts. The story raises questions about the consequences of over-reliance on technology and the potential loss of human connection within families.
