Sarah and John Watson searched for a new domicile.

“John, check this one out!”

John put on his headset and operated a humanoid feeler-drone—capable of emulating all five senses. “Oh, nice. The floor’s incredible, and the place smells clean, well disinfected.”

“Proceed?” Sarah asked.

“Yeah, sure. But I miss the good old days, open houses, meeting agents, interaction.”

“Ew, gross, John!” Sarah shuddered. “Handshaking and airborne germs. Don’t make me feel sick.”

Sarah scheduled a remote auto pod transport for their vacuum-packed items.

The AI chatbot agent said, “Moving day 9 am 2/8/2042. Premises must be cleared for disinfection.”
