But in 2026, home is where lots of other stuff is too: spying doorbells, estranged relatives, back-to-back virtual meetings, through-the-roof utility bills. Some go home; others are sent there. Home can feel as much a shelter for retirement assets as one for retiring bodies. Traditionally a place of refuge, home is now a numbing distraction—more streaming channel than nurturing hearth. For those who are lucky enough to have one, home is something that demands protection. For many others, the privilege of something to protect is put further and further out of reach—often by increasingly lethal means.
