About This Novel
Scout planes are lifeless - until someone brings them home. Activate the connection and open your eyes: behind the camera is a stranger from anywhere in the world, randomly selected by the anonymous server. Strangers virtually inhabit the bodies of small animals through remote control, and also enter the lives of pet owners to spy on and track them. Each "reconnaissance machine" only has one life. If either the "machine owner" or the "machine controller" interrupts the connection or the battery is exhausted, the little animal will fall asleep completely and the game will end. "Detective Machine" is a thought experiment by Schwebelin, the master of weird fantasy novels: In a world that relies on virtual connections, can online experiences allow people to see themselves and others? While technology empowers humans, will it also regress us emotionally, paving the way for unimaginable horrors? When physical isolation and surveillance become the norm, and when face-to-face encounters in the real world are almost a threat, humans will still explore the boundaries between real life and surreality.
