Product Description

Product Description
How do you spot a robot mimicking a human? How do you recognise 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 gait recognition, besting robot logic to engaging in hand-to-pincher 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, dog, and snake robots - How to Survive a Robot Uprising is also a witty yet legitimate introduction to contemporary robotics.

About the Author
Daniel H. Wilson is a roboticist at Carnegie-Mellon's Robotics Institute.

4.0 out of 5 stars !, 5 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I found the presentation of this book in both form and content to be first class.

The author borrows from movies and blends with scientific fact to project what robots will be like in the future. It goes on to offer tips on how to evade the various powers of perception robots may have and how to beat them should they go wrong.

The illustations are excellent and add to the hummorious tone of the book.

If your looking for a quick read on your way to work and are willing take the tongue in cheek view of the future presnted, I'd recomend this book

4.0 out of 5 stars A great gift , 23 Jan 2008
By Ms. C. E. Riddell (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I brought this book for my loveable (but somewhat geeky) boyfriend and he loved it. It is a short book, but very funny. Ideal for one of those conspiracy theorist types.
It is well presented, very shiney with the edges of the pages bright red, making it an excellent gift
