In "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury, a futuristic family utilizes high-tech innovations to cater to their every need. The parents, George and Lydia Hadley, grow increasingly concerned about their children's obsession with the nursery that creates realistic virtual environments based on their thoughts. When the kids become fixated on an African veldt filled with lions, the tension escalates, and the boundaries between technology and reality blur. The story explores themes of parental neglect, the dangers of overreliance on technology, and the potential consequences of a disconnected family, ultimately leading to a chilling and tragic climax.
