Special issue: The high-tech home

Can you envision a house with 20 television monitors, 13 personal computers, a host of control, communications, and security systems, and its own local area network? How about a house that gets its heat from 400 feet below the ground, has walls and floors that store radiant heat during the day and release it at night, with windows that allow more heat to enter than escape? Such houses exist; you can read about them in this issue of Spectrum.
