From "How to Survive a Robot Uprising" by Daniel Wilson
From Daniel H. Wilson, the writer of “How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion” comes a new book, “Robopocalypse”. It is being published in 2011 by Doubleday, and the movie rights have already been secured by Dreamworks.
“Daniel H. Wilson’s cautionary tale of man vs. machine grabbed us from the very beginning,” said DreamWorks co-president of production Mark Sourian. “Wilson’s background in robotics and artificial intelligence grounds his story with a frightening level of realism.”
“Robopocalypse” deals with how humanity copes after a robot uprising. Wilson has a Ph.D. in robotics from Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute and has written numerous science fiction books, so he knows his robots.
I’m very excited for Robopocalypse, since robots taking over the world is obviously a topic I’m rather keen on. Hopefully the book and movie get the word out and make more people realize that robots really just want to kill humans.

I flipped through the Robot Uprising book from the library, and thought it was decent (and at times funny), but to be honest, if robots did uprise and plan to destroy humanity, they’d probably figure out a way to do it easily with biological weapons. The book, in my estimation, should have gone into more detail about that and what humanity could do (if anything) to prepare.

I’ll keep an eye out for this one, I’m a big fan of dystopian / apocalyptic fiction.
