The Veldt is a fiction book based in the future. In this book two children murder their parents at the prospect of losing their beloved smart house. I guess having to tie your own shoes is to much for anyone to handle. After reading I had one question. How far from the truth is this book? My answer wasn't hard to find.
"Smart houses" have recently become easier to purchase although a smart house today only means the systems within a house work together. For example, in the book their bed literaly rocks them to sleep. Today a similar feature is now available in a "smart house," a bed that monitors your sleep and will adjust to make sure you have the deepest sleep obtainable. Pretty amazing but just one of many things to come. "Smart houses" are progressively becoming more like the home in the book. Written in 1950, almost 58 years ago, Ray had the imagination to dream of a world that may soon become a reality.
