    'A Sound of Thunder' vs. 'Nethergrave'

    The setting of “A Sound of Thunder” was back around the time of B.C., when the dinosaurs were around. In “Nethergrave” the setting was modern day.

I also had a hard time telling what time the setting was taking place because I thought when he went into the computer he had went to the future.…
