In appearance, The Internet of Things is a book of drawings, an interactive illustrated book that shows Pablo Duarte’s skills as a cartoonist.

It might draw our attention that in a technological culture, with the proliferation of digital tools and the possibility of using cameras, a writer spending hours drawing objects, might seem like an anachronistic activity.

Maybe this is the challenge of a book such as The Internet of Things, to stop the digital flow and construct in the metaphor of solitary objects that once were technological novelties, creatures that reaffirm the ephemeral nature of the material flow.
