Mr. Bradbury is a top-flight writer in the classic sense. Thanks to your question, I'm going to re-read some of his work. Some of his writings are what-if sci-fi in a fantastic way, others more realistic. As I recall, 'soft rains' was a sobering look at doomsday, but it's been a wlhile. Happy dreams.

Spoiler warning to those who haven't read the story: The setting of course is the house, set in a post-nuclear holocaust future: and yet the house is the main character, as it mindlessly serves the people who are no longer alive in the house. We learn through the house's pre-programmed, meaningless actions that humanity, at least in the area the house is located in, has been wiped out. The only living thing we see is the family dog, which dies almost as soon as it enters the house: but the house sweeps up the body and disposes of it as quickly as the dog appeared. The house may seem like a sympathetic character, but in time the reader realizes it, like all machines, is totally indifferent to life. It's one of the creepiest stories I've ever read....
