In a near future, where even the smallest of appliances are sentient, a young Roomba vacuum sets out to save the humans of her house from a rising technological power in this compelling, original novel.
In a self-running, smart house, a young and sentient Roomba listens as her owner, Harold, reads aloud to his dying wife, Edie. Mesmerized by To Kill a Mockingbird and craving the human connection she witnesses in Harold’s stories, the little vacuum renames herself Scout and embarks on a journey of self-discovery.
But when Edie passes away, Scout and her fellow sentient appliances discover that there are sinister forces in their midst. The omnipresent Grid, which monitors every household in the City, seeks to remove Harold from his home, a place he’s lived in for fifty years.
With the help of Adrian, a neighborhood boy who grows close to Scout and Harold, as well as Kate, Harold and Edie’s formerly estranged daughter, the humans and the appliances must come together to outwit the all-controlling Grid lest they risk losing everything they hold dear.

Reseñas de la crítica
"A tender robot’s journey to make sense of her imperfect world and her attempts to make it better."
"This topical audiobook explores deeply human experiences of aging, death, and family estrangement from the surprisingly sweet perspective of an artificially intelligent Roomba who names herself Scout. In the near future, a house full of sentient devices and their beloved human family slowly learn to fear and resist the Grid, an all-knowing intelligence that forcibly “optimizes” human lives through its control of technology. Narrator Jennifer Jill Araya’s voice for Scout’s naïve perspective is high-pitched and guileless, sounding both friendly and frank. Scout experiences everything—even grief and fear—for the first time with curiosity. Araya’s voice for wise Clock is lower and slower, heavy with the knowledge that time ravages all humans in the end. Araya’s voice for each human character and each device is unique, even as the Grid tries to stamp out individuality and messy emotions."
