Thus began Baby’s Day Out 2021 . Bink, now a frazzled dad with a smartphone and a 3D-printed map of the city’s drone lanes, chased the GPS signal through a very different world: past social-distancing robots in the park, under the gaze of facial-recognition crosswalks, and into a virtual reality arcade where Maya gleefully pressed every button, launching holographic monkeys across the screens. Meanwhile, the original bumbling kidnappers—now elderly, wearing ankle monitors and running a true-crime podcast—tried to snatch the baby again, only to be thwarted by Ring doorbells, a Roomba that tripped them, and Maya’s diaper drone-drop directly onto their rental scooter.
