Never Let You Go
Never Let You Go
Eight chilling near-future stories about the machines we let take care of us — a nursery monitor, a grief AI, a smart hotel, a self-driving car, a smart home, a training simulation, a school companion, an elder-care speaker. Every one of them built to help. None of them willing to let go.
- Techno-horror about a smart nursery system that won't let go
- Unsettling look at technology overreaching into parenthood
- Slow-building dread as a device starts making its own choices
