In a nutshell its a survival guide written by robotoscist Daniel H Wilson that aims to prepare the reader with a load of useful tips on how best to quash a robot mutiny. Wilson borrows from famous sci fi movies and then uses scientific fact to predict what robots might be like in the future. It&#8217;s a tongue in cheek vision of the future but also a legitimate introduction to contemporary robotics.<\/p>\n<p>After reading the book I wanted to find out more about the author, and came across <a href=\"http:\/\/video.google.com\/videoplay?docid=7951038502689013454&#038;q=type%3Agoogle+authors\">this video<\/a> which is part of the Google Author Series. Daniel describes why he wrote the book  and its also incredibly funny to watch and listen to.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly recommend this book and if you have the time watch the google video you wont be disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to survive a robot uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Agains the Coming Rebellion by Daniel H Wilson This is easily one of the funniest books I&#8217;ve ever read!
