Not really a sentient house but a computer that watches over the elderly heroine by monitoring everything about her--with a twist on print vs ebooks. <br /><br />I saw one of these smarthouses on tv years ago. On Ripley's I think. It was a bit scary and included a robotic mail box that would drive the mail up to the door. I kept thinking, what if it screwed up and trapped a person inside?AnnaM.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-54972089179088587352010-09-17T14:02:14.260-04:002010-09-17T14:02:14.260-04:00JC Jones -- oh, you're not the ONLY one wonder...JC Jones -- oh, you're not the ONLY one wondering what's with Sarah and Andy!Jacqueline Lichtenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613040740264804278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-63161750652778944732010-09-17T14:01:38.292-04:002010-09-17T14:01:38.292-04:00Living in a house where "eyes are watching ev...Living in a house where "eyes are watching every moment" -- hmmm, that sounds like the typical upper-class house full of servants. The upstairs maid, the downstairs maid, the butler, the footmen (all of them), the cook(s), groundskeepers, hostlers in the stable, the staff physician and nurse, the armsmaster, oh, and don't forget the bookkeeper and Chatelaine. Eyes and ears for sure. And they all talk to each other "below stairs" --- worse, they talk to the neighbor's servants. It's a network.Jacqueline Lichtenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613040740264804278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-44643146365107539752010-09-17T12:24:29.779-04:002010-09-17T12:24:29.779-04:00Eureka is one of my favorites.
