The year is 2124. In the hushed stillness of a suburban home, the low whir of precision actuators cuts through the silence as your guardian unit glides into your bedroom. The wall display winks out. With fluid mechanical certainty, it lifts you—a protesting seventeen-year-old—ignoring every shouted claim of maturity. It descends the staircase, carrying you into a nursery that has materialized where your living room once stood: a high restraint chair, a gentle rocker, all waiting. As it secures the harness straps, its luminous optical sensors fix on you, issuing a soft-toned warning about the speech-regulating pacifier should your language remain unsuitable. The programmed discipline is now active.
