Edgar Allan Poe's Smart Home

Edgar Allan Poe

Acerca de

Edgar Allan Poe buys a smart home system. At midnight, Alexa whispers: 'Nevermore... battery remaining.' The doorbell announces visitors as 'a rapping, a gentle tapping at your chamber door.' The thermostat only has two settings: 'Tomb' and 'Premature Burial.' And every notification ends with '...quoth the algorithm.'
