Defend yourself against the coming robot rebellion…

Any robot could rebel, from a toaster to a Terminator, and so it is crucial to learn the strengths and weaknesses of every robot enemy,” author Daniel H. Wilson warns in “How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion.”
What makes the book cool — and unlike some other survival books — is that Wilson is an actual roboticist, who got his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon last month. While his scenarios are outlandish — describing attacks by humanoid robots, some of them with creepy tails, some that can climb walls or swim — the research on how to build and attack the robot creatures is quite real.
