In a glossy brochure the future is promised as a gleaming “House of Tomorrow,” a sleek, fully automated residence imagined by the eccentric architect Frank Lloyd Wrong. The home bristles with mechanical assistants, self‑serving amenities and a cheerful, omnipresent voice that greets any visitor with optimism.
