Rise and Fall of the Garden Path

Just replace standard bricks or pavers with our
completely self-contained SunBricks.

Each SunBrick contains a nascent AI (artificial
intelligence) to control it’s operation, allowing them
to come on automatically when darkness falls, and
turn off again at daybreak. The efficient photovoltaic
cells mean SunBricks incur no operating costs. Just
recess them in your walkway, and forget them!

WARNING :
– Be sure to position each SunBrick so that light from
adjacent units does not fall on its photo detector.
– Do not network SunBricks. Nor should you allow
individual SunBricks access to any channel of
communication.
– Do not befriend SunBricks. Avoid showing
favoritism towards any single or small group of
SunBricks.
– Any attempt on the part of SunBrick pavers to lead
you astray should be reported to the Ministry of
CyberSecurity

There it was again, that haunting, mournful sound.
