Sea of Glass

Longyear, Barry B. Sea of Glass. New York: St. Martin's, 1987.

See for motifs of enclosure in a house where the growing protagonist's contact with the world is watching TV programs and classic films (including at least two we list)—and for rule by MAC III, a supercomputer dealing with overpopulation.
