What themes and issues are raised in Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains"? Outline his style of writing in the story.

Ray Bradbury has created a rare storyline that includes no
human beings or human interaction. Earth's humans have created a weapon that destroys
all human life, leaving only a building which is unable to be demolished. Inside, the
house continues to function efficiently despite the lack of people to enjoy its
mechanical marvels. One of the themes explored is that of Man
vs. Machine. By creating a technological
device that can destroy all humanity, man is seen as a creature who believes himself
both superior and clueless to the possible repercussions. Yes, machines can replace
humans, functioning in their place (as seen by the house); however, there is no life or
love or interaction. Without humanity, the function of machines is
meaningless.

Another theme explored by Bradbury is that of
Science vs. Nature. Although
it appears that science has destroyed humanity, the earth still survives. The house,
impregnable to destruction and able to maintain itself, is nevertheless accidentally
destroyed by fire--an act of nature.
