N2  - "The Automatic Maid-of-All-Work: A Possible Tale of the Near Future" by M. L. Campbell is a humorous, speculative fiction story published in the early 1890s. This tale offers a comedic look at the challenges of domestic life in the context of an emerging technological future, centering around an invented, automatic maid meant to alleviate household chores.  In the narrative, the protagonist, Fanny, navigates the chaos that ensues when her husband, John, introduces the automatic maid he has invented. Initially envisioned as a helpful new addition to their home, the maid quickly becomes a source of hilarity and mayhem, as its mechanical functions lead to unintended and outlandish consequences. As it attempts to perform various household tasks, it creates disorder, hilarity, and mishaps involving the family, pets, and even a local policeman. Ultimately, the story comically illustrates the complexities of integrating technology into daily life, leaving Fanny to wonder if a regular maid might be a better choice after all.
