Bradbury would've written about the sad, slow lava-like melting of the plastic and metal, the crisp sounds of the cracking glass, the occasional pop of exploding batteries. He would've broken your heart with lyrical prose about the loss of entire libraries and generations' worth of heritage.
Because: Bradbury.
