Author Philip K. Dick was downright prophetic on the IoT. His book Ubik published in 1969 features an apartment with appliances (and a door!) that required payment for continued usage. Think of it like an HOA fee for each appliance :confounded: It’s scary how accurate his predictions were.

Only read this recently, that cartoon also made me immediately think of Joe Chip’s appartement!

Every great inventor has talked about patent theft. I knew this would happen. I can only hope like Philo T Farnsworth some odball science fiction show will remember me. Wednesday Releases Thing In New York | Netflix - YouTube
