Koontz shoots his wad with the ominous first half of this science fiction novel about a beautiful young woman who finds herself trapped in her own home, held prisoner by a sentient computer, the "enviromod" that runs the entire house.  Degenerates rapidly thereafter as Koontz gives increasingly more time to the computer itself and its adolescent desire for sex and procreation.  Made into a film in 1977 starring Julie Christie, and rewritten by the author in 1997 as entirely from the computer's point of view.
