In "Little Eyes" by Samanta Schweblin, mysterious devices known as "kentukis" have spread globally, allowing anonymous users to control them and interact with others' lives from afar. These devices enable a person in Berlin to wander through a home in Sydney, or someone in Bangkok to share breakfast with children in Buenos Aires, all without the hosts' knowledge. The anonymity of the users adds a layer of intrigue and danger, as they remain completely unknown and untraceable. The novel explores the unsettling implications of such technology on privacy and human connection.
