Publisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • This terrifying tale of humanity’s desperate stand against a robot uprising is the most entertaining sci-fi thriller in years. • “Terrific, page-turning fun.” —Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
Not far into our future, the dazzling technology that runs our world turns against us. Controlled by a childlike—yet massively powerful—artificial intelligence known as Archos, the global network of machines on which our world has grown dependent suddenly becomes an implacable, deadly foe. At Zero Hour—the moment the robots attack—the human race is almost annihilated, but as its scattered remnants regroup, humanity for the first time unites in a determined effort to fight back. This is the oral history of that conflict, told by an international cast of survivors who experienced this long and bloody confrontation with the machines. Brilliantly conceived and amazingly detailed, Robopocalypse is an action-packed epic with chilling implications about the real technology that surrounds us.

Robopocalyse
Great read, reminds of the robot version of World War Z with a similar style to the structure. It will be interesting to see how Spielberg approaches the movie. There are many interesting sequences that scream something big and cinematic. I hope they keep the darker elements of the story and don't try to dumb it down for a larger audience. Will have to read Amped at some point. Well done.
Loved it!!
Couldn't put it down...was fantastic!! Can't wait for his new book this summer!
