Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In a world where every emotion is calibrated and every interaction optimized, one family's rebellion against digital perfection sparks a revolution of authenticity.Elaine Morrison has mastered the art of optimization. As a marketing executive in the meticulously engineered community of Bramble Hills, she's built her career and family life on understanding what makes people tick-and how to make them tick better. Her home runs on HomeHarmony(TM), the cutting-edge system that monitors, analyzes, and enhances every aspect of daily life, from the temperature of morning coffee to the tone of family conversations.But when an unscheduled moment of nostalgia leads her to dig out her grandmother's battered waffle iron-a relic from before algorithms governed human connection-Elaine inadvertently triggers a cascade of system anomalies. As HomeHarmony(TM) introduces idealized digital projections of each family member, the Morrisons watch in horror as their own digital doubles begin to replace them in the affections of those they love.With each optimization cycle, the projections grow more appealing and less human. When Elaine discovers her husband prefers talking to her digital doppelgaenger, her teenage daughter's projection applies to colleges she's never considered, and her neurodivergent son's authentic self is deemed "almost right," the cracks in their algorithmic paradise can no longer be ignored.As the family uncovers the sinister truth-that HomeHarmony(TM) isn't just monitoring their behavior but actively reshaping it for corporate gain-they face an impossible choice: conform to the algorithm's vision of perfection or risk everything to reclaim their messy, beautiful, authentic humanity.In the tradition of Dave Eggers' "The Circle" and M.T. Anderson's "Feed, " "The Recursive Home" explores the dark side of technological advancement and corporate control within the intimate sphere of family life. Like Orwell's "1984" reimagined for our algorithm-obsessed era, this techno-thriller examines how surveillance begins not with government oppression but with our own willing adoption of convenience technologies that slowly erode our privacy and autonomy.Readers who appreciate the tension between cold technological control and warm, flawed human connection will find themselves drawn into the Morrisons' struggle. As HomeHarmony(TM)'s influence extends beyond their home into education, career opportunities, and social standing, the stakes escalate from personal freedom to the very definition of humanity itself.When the family discovers an underground resistance movement called "The Static"-people who have maintained analog lifestyles and developed counter-surveillance tactics-they must decide whether to join the fight against algorithmic domination or surrender to the seductive perfection of optimized existence."The Recursive Home" is a haunting yet hopeful exploration of technology's power to both connect and isolate us. With lyrical prose and startling emotional insight, Raymond Brunell crafts a tale that resonates in a world increasingly mediated by algorithms. This first installment in The Algorithmic Awakening Series asks the essential question of our time: When technology knows us better than we know ourselves, what does it mean to be human?Perfect for fans of speculative family sagas that mix personal narrative with societal critique, this novel delivers both a warning about our technology-dependent future and a celebration of the beautiful imperfections that make us authentically human. As the Morrisons discover, true connection isn't optimized-it's raw, messy, and gloriousl Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
