Post-Rapture Thought

It would have been interesting if, the morning after the preacher had predicted the Rapture, we had awoken to find that all the people were still here-- but all the computers had vanished.

About 20 years ago, somebody I knew wrote such a story, though it wasn't explcitly Rapture. Based on what I now know about him, I'll wager somebody else wrote it first, using remarkably similar words.

Yeah, there was such a story (the robots were picked up, as I recall). Although if I had had to guess, I would have said it was a PKD story.
