It’s a fascinating concept, and so spot-on with its understanding about the way the tech could be used for good, for evil and could be monetised further. As Emilia (and the reader) asks, is there something to be said about the people who choose one or the other? “ If people could be divided between Kentucki keepers and dwellers, it disturbed her to be on the opposite side from her son.” And you have the ‘dwellers’, who buy a tablet with a serial code which is then connected through a database to someone’s random Kentucki, through which you then experience the world. You have the ‘keepers’, who are the kinds of people to buy and bring a Kentucki toy home to keep it in their home. A person who can control the wheels, make noises and explore their surroundings using the cameras in the eyes – from a connected tablet anywhere in the world.
Not a real teeny tiny person, but one who has been randomly paired with it. They even have working eyes that blink, little animal grunts, feathers and torsos that move, and wheels on the bottom of the toy to allow them to trundle around.īut that’s not all they do. You can get them in the form of different cute and colorful animals, from rabbits to crows and dragons. It’s technologically advanced, but not so much so that it feels out of reach – ten more years, perhaps? Kentucki toys are the new ‘must-have’ tech of the moment, and very reminiscent of Furbies. And from then on, the world is made clear to us.
