The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances

by Glenn Dixon

Description

In a near future where even the smallest appliances possess sentience, a young Roomba named Scout embarks on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and courage. Inspired by the human stories she overhears, Scout forms a deep bond with her owner, Harold, and his ailing wife, Edie. When a sinister technological force known as the Grid threatens to sever Harold's connection to his lifelong home, Scout and a band of sentient appliances must unite with human allies to protect their family. This compelling novel explores themes of connection, loss, and the unexpected places where loyalty and bravery can be found, all while questioning the true meaning of life in an increasingly automated world.
