FUNSCREEN is the story of the ultimate smart TV.The Funscreen's features are mind-blowing. Capable of tracking users' focus to the pixel and delivering targeted advertising with military precision, the government sat up and took notice of the new technology as soon as it was released.Before long Funscreen became the centrepiece of the new private welfare system, rewarding unemployed viewers for watching the right kind of ads.Now, like millions of others, Roger Birch and his family depend on ad-viewing income for their survival.Unlike millions of others, the events of one uncomfortable evening leave Roger aware of the government's shadier reasons for investing in Funscreen. With high-definition cameras hidden behind a 60-inch glass veil, the answer was staring him in the face all along.Every family has a Funscreen on their wall. The question is... who's watching who?---* Funscreen is a satirical/sci-fi short story of 6,500 words (approx. 22 standard pages).* Fully formatted for Kindle with an active Table of Contents.* Written in standard International/British English.★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★A unique take on the increasing commercialisation of home life and the apparent trend towards 24-hour surveillance, Funscreen is a standalone spin-off from the dystopian novel Sycamore. Praise for Sycamore: * "A brilliant and relevant sci-fi from a debut author... interesting and matrix-like"* "Dystopian fans should not miss this one" * "Great idea from the author... 1984 for the Facebook generation"* "For those of you who have never read 1984, read this book. For those of you who have, read this book"

3.5 stars This story makes me wonder what our future will be like... A lot of the elements here will probably happen in the future... The TV monitors your reactions to commercials and can then only show you the ones that you are likely to pay attention to... But that's not the only thing it monitors...
