The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury, it's a collection of short stories with a light meta story connecting them. The man feared technology, thought it would ruin society. It was written in 1951 and some of his thoughts on how technology could ruin people are eerily spot on.
The "smart home" story in particular is oddly prescient.
