The Veldt (DIMX)

An amazing story about a family living in an automated home. The children, Peter and Wendy (an homage to Peter Pan), become fascinated with the nursery. The room is able to connect with the children telepathically to reproduce any place they imagine. The parents soon become concerned with the amount of time the children are spending in the nursery and decide, perhaps too late, to get control.

The Veldt was originally published in The Saturday Evening Post (Sep. 1950) as The World the Children Made. It was later republished in the anthology The Illustrated Man in 1951.
