Stupid Machine

Car accidents don’t happen. The last one was fifty-some years ago, somewhere around 2050. Which makes Jordan Bishop’s fatal crash in a self-driving vehicle unusual. Maybe even a murder.

Araci Belo doesn't know cars, but he suspects it wasn’t a simple malfunction.

Jupyter works with appliances—rice cookers, ovens, whatever calls for help—coaching them back to proper operation. She’s being hounded by a refrigerator with an impossible question.

It’s unfortunate Belo doesn’t know Jupyter.

It’s unfortunate that Jupyter doesn’t know about the murder.

It’s unfortunate a refrigerator only cares about orange juice when it knows who killed jordan.

Can a refrigerator solve a murder?
