How To Survive A Robot Uprising - Daniel H Wilson
Daniel H. Wilson
2005, 176 pages
How do you spot a robot mimicking a human? How do you recognize and deactivate a rebel servant robot? How do you escape a murderous “smart” house, or evade a swarm of marauding robotic flies?
In this essential survival guide, roboticist Daniel H Wilson teaches worried humans the secrets to quashing a robot mutiny. From treating laser wounds to fooling face and speech recognition, outwitting robot logic to engaging in hand-to-pincer combat, How to Survive a Robot Uprising covers every possible doomsday scenario facing the newest endangered species: humans.
Earlier this year, I reviewed Daniel Wilson’s Where’s My Jetpack> I think this book was a bit better. The humour was a bit drier, which I liked a lot, and it felt less like a Wikipedia article. Slightly terrifying at times, it reminded me of why we want to make friends with the robots while they are still under our control.
Oooh, this sounds pretty awesome. Is it your book and if so can I borrow it from you at some point?
