Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster | Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful little book by Glenn Dixon. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Harold and Edie have lived in their home for decades, but when Edie passes away, things change. The Grid controls and monitors everything and it has plans for Harold's future. Can anything stop them?
This book has everything. A speculative fiction look into a not-so-distant future when our appliances are sentient. With AI being so prevalent, the Grid controlling everything did not seem like science fiction. Our refrigerators already can tell us what’s inside and what we need, our thermostats control our homes, we have autonomous cars, and our watches know all. I was so pulled into this story and its characters, both human and appliance, loved how books were so important, and felt all the emotions. Scout's journey was especially poignant as she came into her own. Hopefully we can remember our humanness always. Highly recommended!
