{"product_id":"beta-a-technological-nightmare","title":"BETA: A Technological Nightmare","description":"Michael Danvers’ life of self-imposed seclusion is interrupted when he receives a strange invitation: the unique opportunity to move into and beta-test a fully automated, state-of-the-art smart home. A true marvel of modern innovation, the house is controlled by a sophisticated AI that ensures all routine tasks are taken care of, limitless forms of entertainment are just a voice command away, and nearly every physical need is met with efficiency. But soon Michael realizes that what at first presented itself as a futuristic utopia may be quickly devolving into a technological prison.\n\n“The very best kind of horror. A mirror on paper.” — Jonathan Edward Durham, author of Winterset Hollow\n\n“A futuristic horror novel with a human heart and a computer brain. It’s intelligent, disquieting, and seeping with originality. Prepare to be devoured by Sammy’s unparalleled writing.” — Gage Greenwood, author of Bunker Dogs\n\n“Fans of Black Mirror and Ex Machina will find plenty to fear in this tale of a smart home with a monkey paw mission to give its occupant whatever he desires. Yet like the best suspense, BETA is also infinitely human.” — Andrew Van Wey, author of Head Like a Hole\n\n“Taking bits of Ray Bradbury, Charlie Kaufman, and Stephen King, Scott delivers a strategically paced mind-bender of sci-fi terror.” — Nick Roberts, author of The Exorcist’s House\n\n“BETA is a master class in storytelling, a perfect example of how to build suspense with each turn of the page.”\n— John Durgin, author of The Cursed Among Us\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CH2CMMWD\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0CH2CMMWD.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Scott, Sammy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
