“The House That Watched Back: How Smart Homes Became Criminals’ New Playground” is a chilling journey into the dark side of the devices we trust most. It begins on a quiet night in Houston, where a baby monitor whispers a child’s name in a grown man’s voice—a stranger slipping through Wi-Fi instead of windows. From that moment, the book uncovers a terrifying truth: the home you thought was protecting you may already be watching you… and someone else may be watching through it. Through gripping real incidents from Houston, London, and Toronto, this book exposes how hackers turn ordinary smart homes into silent weapons. Baby monitors, smart locks, thermostats, cameras, and cloud accounts become tools for intruders who enter without ever touching a doorknob. Readers will see how criminals predict when families are sleeping, when homes are empty, and when defenses are weakest—not through force, but through data.

As the pages turn, the danger grows. Hackers brag about unlocking homes like party tricks. Families wake to alarms disarming themselves. Devices come alive with voices that should not exist. And as artificial intelligence speeds up the chaos, crime becomes faster, smarter, and nearly invisible. But this story is not just about fear—it is about fighting back. The book reveals how understanding your own home, its signals, its habits, and its weaknesses, becomes the only real defense in a world where criminals think like engineers. Readers will walk away shaken, but empowered, ready to reclaim control from the machines quietly mapping their lives.

This is not fiction. This is the new reality—told with gripping detail, relentless suspense, and the haunting question every reader must face: Who else is inside your home?
