Description

IoT is the vigilant sentinel of tomorrow, linking everything from refrigerators to socks to the internet and obeying the whims of unseen controllers. In return, it delivers a flood of convenience-laced anxieties. Data accumulates endlessly, eroding your freedom under the guise of analysis and surveillance. Your life, bound by chains called smart technology, quietly commences.
