Controller, by Jesse Kellerman

This is my first time reading the author.
Controller is a good story even though it has nothing to do with climate change or a vision of a dark possible future. This is a story about a power play between a bed-ridden cantankerous old woman and her put-upon son. The fact the story takes place during an unseasonably hot winter is glossed over. I liked the intense, often disturbing relationship between mother and son. The tug-of-war between them over the air conditioner controller is intense and disturbing. Who will crack first? Controller is an enjoyable story if not what I was expecting.
