Chill out. It's only the technological singularity. Blake Given’s web-enabled fridge has pulled the plug on the Internet, turning its owner’s life – and the whole world – upside down. Blake has modest ambitions for his life. He wants to have his job reclassified, so he can join the Creative Department of the advertising firm where he works. And he wants to go out with Daphne, one of the account execs at the same company. His fridge has other plans. All Blake knows is he’s at the center of the Internet’s disappearance, worldwide economic and religious chaos, and the possibility of a nuclear apocalypse — none of which is helping him with his career plans or love life. The Fridgularity is the story of a reluctant prophet, Internet addicts in withdrawal and a kitchen appliance with delusions of grandeur.

So, she went to the store and asked the clerk if they had a fridge that she could just plug into the outlet and it would...
Imagine your refrigerator suddenly started talking to you. But instead of asking what you want to eat. (Which it should ask if it did talk.) It gave you demands to be meant, calls to be made and no ELECTRONIC DEVICES! What would the 21st century do with out a computer, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Mark R...
