Know-It-All

Know-It-All is the sixth story release by Tremorphonic.

We all trust our smart devices with personal information but do we trust them too much? Jeremy's navigation system knows a lot about his activities, but has she put the pieces together?

Tremorphonic - The Sounds of Fear is a collection of horror audio stories, often, like this story, in a radio play format.
