The African Veldt
A great short story about the future and how technology can disrupt the family life.
Summary: George and Lydia install the latest technology in their house which does everything for the family from feeding them to rocking them to sleep. The nursery becomes a virtual reality room, able to reproduce any setting, even Africa.
They soon realize that there is something wrong with the nursery and even their way of life. The children become spoiled and end up ruling the house. Strange screams have also been heard from the nursery where lions are feeding in the distance. George and Lydia do not understand why their children would be concerned with Africa or with death.
George and Lydia look on as the lions advance slowly forward.
