Heinlein’s Waldo might be a good thing to read, then. It’s the origin of the word “Waldo” in English.
It is a cool story, but I had no idea that remote control arms were called waldoes when I read it haha.
This uncanny sentence is giving me dystopian vertigo. I picture a mob of derelicts home-invading a 130 years-old tech boomer, fighting his remote-controlled spare limbs from room to room..
