[box type="note"]Hey all, Mandy here! Today we have a guest post from my client Imogen Howson, author of the science-fiction thriller Linked![/box] When I was in my teens, in the late 80s, one of my favourite Ray Bradbury stories was “There Will Come Soft Rains”. Published in 1950, it’s a story of beautifully understated tragedy, about a futuristic-style house full of automatic functions, that keeps on functioning (cooking breakfast, dimming lights, reading poetry) even though its occupants have all been killed by a nuclear catastrophe.
