Description
In the mid-24th Century, life is comfortable and secure. Companions - robots almost indistinguishable from humans - fulfil their owner's every need, including sexual. Almost every house is weaponised and able to protect its residents from any attack and to obliterate any attacker. This protection system is known as The Door, and the current version is Dawson Junior G3. As a result of these home comforts, people have become self-sufficient, but they no longer meet up. In particular, men and women are no longer attracted to each other, leading to a plummeting population. Frank Mayfield, a well-off man facing a loveless marriage, meets a woman who makes him aware of the problems with his society and the way technology engenders distrust and drives people apart. The question remains: can these problems be fixed? Having invented technology to make life safer and easier, is it possible to discard it and return to a simpler era? This fast-paced and entertaining story explores the consequences of our reliance on technology and whether a decaying society demands our loyalty.
