Be Sure to read "Robopocalypse" in 2011

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.
