The Infinite Sadness Of Small Appliances: A Charming And Heartwarming Original Novel From A Bestselling Author, For Readers Who Loved Before The Coffee Gets Col

*The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances* by Glenn Dixon is a tender, sharply imagined near-future novel where a sentient robot vacuum learns what it means to belong—and decides that love is worth fighting for.

Inside a self-running smart house, a curious Roomba listens as Harold reads to his dying wife, Edie. Captivated by the warmth in his voice and the stories he shares, she renames herself Scout and starts piecing together the mysteries of human connection. When grief reshapes the household, Scout and the other appliances notice something darker at work: the Grid that watches the City wants Harold removed from the home he’s built his life in.

As Scout finds unexpected allies, this literary science fiction story blends gentle humour with dystopian tension, exploring AI, family, and resistance.

Perfect for readers who like cosy speculative fiction, heartfelt character-driven stories, and smart-house settings with big emotional stakes.

Take this one home and let it surprise you.
