Robopocalypse: A Novel

Daniel H. Wilson

Having seen that Spielberg is contemplating a movie based on this book, thought I would read it. It is a story very much like The Terminator series, where an artificial intelligence gains sentience and takes control of the many robots mixed in among humans. The difference is that this story is about the beginning of the struggle, between the few months before "zero-hour" to a couple years after. The robots have not yet gained complete control, so it is a civil war, not a rebellion. It like that there is not one main character, but a series of stories of people who take different actions around the world to influence the final outcome. This is good science fiction.
