Narrated by: Mike Chamberlain
In the not-too-distant future, robots have made our lives a lot easier:
they help clean our kitchens, drive our cars, and fight our wars--until
they are turned into efficient murderers by a sentient artificial
intelligence buried miles below the surface of Alaska.
Robopocalypse is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller that makes a strong case
that mindless fun can also be wildly inventive. The war is told as an
oral history, assembled from interviews, security camera footage, and
first- and secondhand testimonies, similar to Max Brook's zombie epic
World War Z. The book isn't shy about admitting to its influences,
but author Daniel H. Wilson certainly owes more to Terminator than he
does to Asimov. (A film adaptation is already in pre-production, with
Steven Spielberg in the director's chair and a release date slated
for 2013.) Robopocalypse may not be the most unique tale about the war
between man and machine, but it's certainly one of the most fun.
