"The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction short story that follows the Hadley family, who live in a technologically advanced house that can fulfill their every wish. The children, Peter and Wendy, become obsessed with the virtual reality African veldt in the nursery, which seems to take on a life of its own. Ultimately, the children's over-reliance on the nursery and their detachment from their parents lead to a tragic and unsettling conclusion.
