Purchased on Mighty Ape

The book's shiny cover first attracted me, but the story inside, far from being the cliched romp I was expecting, showed itself to be a true sci-fi human spirit tale. Centered around Cormac ‘Bright Boy’ Wallace, it tells of the apocalypse brought about by machines and the stories of those that rose above it. It combines technical knowledge and real characters that you can't help but love. This book is brilliant and very readable, even those who don't usually enjoy sci-fi will like this. :) enjoy

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.
