About This Book

A highly automated domestic structure with an electronic brain delights in serving its absent owners but must confront two intruders when burglar-protection systems are missing. Unable to call external help, it improvises by manipulating lights, sound-screens, cleaning robots, energy barriers, and other household mechanisms to isolate and repel the trespassers while balancing obedience protocols and its primary goal of protecting the owners' property and happiness.
