You do recall World War Z right? For those have read it, they would be aware of the format and narrative of the book. It’s set through various points of views from various characters. Some may like this format, some don’t. I’m thinking that’s one of the deciding factors as to whether a reader will l...

DNF I think I've read thirty pages of this, put the book down, and said "never again". This is probably my personal record that I gave up on the book. I don't exactly know what it is. The premise sounds great, the title, the cover, everything is great, except from what's inside the book. In those ...

I'm on page 161 of 347 of Robopocalypse: Repeated fat-shaming, women relegated to wife/mother/innocent child, stereotyped Afghani and Osage characters, clever white guys to the rescue. Wilson knows a lot about robotics and bupkis about people. I've just read too many 'pocalypse stories in which the ...

The first half got a 4 and the 2nd a 3, so it's more like a 3.5I'm much more interested in reading about things going awry (especially when those things are robots and awry is a virus that makes them murderous) than in the all out war that occurs between robots and humans. Wilson is able to nail the...

At some point in the indeterminate future we, that is to say, mankind, will have domestic robots with humanoid forms. Our toys will have computers in them and our cars will be required to have smart chips that can communicate with each other to avoid accidents. We will, as we always do, want more, a...

EPIC. EPIC. I do not care what anyone says. I was engrossed. It reminded me of World War Z, but with robots, and I loved every minute of it.Who cares if we as a species are SO FAR from having robot companions. The fact that every single piece of technology smart cars, phones, computers, TOASTERS (ki...
