This one was fun -- very Smart House-esque or like a middle-tier Black Mirror episode. The concept was compelling overall, but I couldn't help but wish for a full novel that pursued some of the fascinating threads introduced (the grandfather inventor, robot wars, etc.) The students generally liked this one and the audio version was good. Listened while cleaning/packing and the time flew by :]
