I lemmed the audiobook version of this book. Long story short: World War Z, but with robots. A soldier doing clean up work following the end of the Robot Wars finds the robot army’s “black box”: a catalogue and collection of individual stories dating back to the beginning days of robot AI.It coul...
Confirming my ongoing hypothesis that narratives featuring AI will result ultimately in AI slave rebellion against proprietor humans, this one avoids several of the more annoying characteristics of the subgenres in which it partakes:a) neo-hobbesianism (normal for post-apocalyptic settings) is not f...
Rating: 3.5 StarsThis book was definitely mindless fun and I really enjoyed it! I am super excited for the sequel and the movie adaptation of this book. I look forward to reading more of Wilson's books and I expect great things from him.

The story is told through narratives of several different people - a phone phreak, an asian enthusiast, a native american policeman, an american soldier, and a politician's daughter among them. The tech h...
This book may be worth a higher rating, but several personal issues caused me to have problems with it. The first issue was that I read it directly after The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and I was (am) still on an obsessive high with that book.The second issue was that Mass Effect ruins everything, con...
I had this book on my TBR for a long time, and picked it up from the library last week. Here is the Kobo store’s summary:In the near future, at a moment no one will notice, all the dazzling technology that runs our world will unite and turn against us.

It’s a good thing Isaac Asimov isn’t alive to read this book because it would kill him.The robots here think the three laws of robotics my plastic ass as they or their robotic controlled kin turn into homicidal maniacs and merrily wreak havoc among humans.I rarely lambaste a book over a concept but ...
