Summary

Summary

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 dryly hilarious 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.

Based on extensive interviews with prominent scientists and including an overview of cutting-edge robot prototypes like humanoid walkers, insect, gecko, and snake robots, this one-of-a-kind book makes a witty yet legitimate introduction to contemporary robotics.

“Narrator Rudnicki, a voice associated with the best of audio’s contemporary SF writers, gives an appropriately deadpan performance.”  —Kliatt
“A fabulous, funny book that is both entertaining and informative…Stefan Rudnicki did an excellent job capturing the mock-seriousness of the subject matter…Rarely has science fact been mixed with science fiction to providing such an entertaining book.” —SFFAudio.com
“A ‘must’ for any interested in robotics, science fiction, or solid humor spiced with a bit of fact.” —California Bookwatch
