The Bureau of Unexplained Appliance Behavior

By Charlie Wink

Arthur Pumble thought the worst part of tech support was explaining to customers that the internet wasn't "inside the computer." That was before the refrigerators started singing, the microwaves staged meltdowns, and the office AI reported him for "bullying."

Now, unemployed and utterly bewildered, Arthur is recruited by a secret government agency: The Bureau of Unexplained Appliance Behavior. Their mission? Investigate rogue smart devices, uncover the mysterious Grid pulling their strings, and stop humanity's appliances from taking over one malfunction at a time.

Armed with nothing but his skepticism, sarcasm, and a knack for enraging machines, Arthur must team up with Agent "Breaker" Jones, a no-nonsense field operative, to face an uprising of toasters, thermostats, and coffee makers gone rogue.

Is Arthur really the key to saving humanity...or just the guy destined to short-circuit the end of the world?
