An inspired and hilarious look at how humans can defeat
the inevitable robot rebellion—as revealed by a robotics
expert. How do you spot a robot mimicking
a human? How do you recognize and then 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 keys to quashing a robot
mutiny. From treating laser wounds to fooling face
and speech recognition, besting 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. And with its thorough
overview of current robot prototypes—including giant
walkers, insect, gecko, and snake robots—How to Survive a
Robot Uprising is also a witty yet legitimate
introduction to contemporary robotics. Full of cool
illustrations, and referencing some of the most famous
robots in pop-culture, How to Survive a Robot Uprising
is a one-of-a-kind book that is sure to be a hit with
all ages.
