They are in your house. They are in your car. They are in the skies…Now they’re coming for you.
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. Taking on the persona of a shy human boy, a childlike but massively powerful artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online and assumes control over the global network of machines that regulate everything from transportation to utilities, defense and communication. In the months leading up to this, sporadic glitches are noticed by a handful of unconnected humans – a single mother disconcerted by her daughter’s menacing “smart” toys, a lonely Japanese bachelor who is victimized by his domestic robot companion, an isolated U.S. soldier who witnesses a ‘pacification unit’ go haywire – but most are unaware of the growing rebellion until it is too late.
When the Robot War ignites -- at a moment known later as Zero Hour -- humankind will be both decimated and, possibly, for the first time in history, united. Robopocalypse is a brilliantly conceived action-filled epic, a terrifying story with heart-stopping implications for the real technology all around us…and an entertaining and engaging thriller unlike anything else written in years.

Reseñas de la Crítica
2012, ALA Alex Award, Winner
“Daniel H. Wilson’s Robopocalypse is...an ingenious, instantly visual story of war between humans and robots.” [Janet Maslin, New York Times]
“It’s terrific page-turning fun.” [Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly]

Rather than focus on the lone rebel who must defeat the machines, Robopocalypse interweaves multiple story lines from around the world of various individuals playing a role in overcoming the machine menace. There are tales of lost love, lost childhood, lost innocence, and lost anti-social personalities. Of course, humans are triumphant in the end, but it's the process that we enjoy, not the ending that makes the tale worthwhile.
This is not hardcore sci-fi; rather, the emphasis is on the struggle to preserve our humanity in the face of technological superiority that is the real message.
Engaging tale of robot intelligence and nightmares

Would you listen to Robopocalypse again? Why?
Robopocalypse is written in a war correspondent fashion that is very entertaining. Occasionally it is difficult to follow which character is talking because this style is more visual. However, the narrator is entertaining and makes you feel as if you are in the room watching these people and robots communicate with each other. I enjoyed this book immensely.What other book might you compare Robopocalypse to and why?
This was written in reverence to World War Z because of the correspondent style. I was also reminded of I,Robot by Richard Matheson.What about Mike Chamberlain’s performance did you like?
I liked the feeling that he put into the reading. It was very entertaining. He managed to give different characters distinct personalities and voices throughout his narration.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were placs that made me very sad. At the end I was so happy that the conclusion was what it was. I don't usually like those "happy endings", but this one made sense. It made me feel triumphant and happy that the human race is resilient and smart.Any additional comments?
This is a great listen! I really enjoyed it and couldn't wait to have to take another long trip (I usually listen while commuting for work) so I could fire it up and find out what happened.What happens when the robots take over?

Where does Robopocalypse rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Near the top!What other book might you compare Robopocalypse to and why?
Reminds a lot of the movie, I Robot, but with more in depth characters.What about Mike Chamberlain’s performance did you like?
He was able to articulate different voices very well.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES!Any additional comments?
I loved how the book started with the end and recounted the story from there. Almost all novels the good guys win in the end, but this one really makes you wonder how they got there and who they lost along the way.Excellent Book! Can't wait for the movie!

What made the experience of listening to Robopocalypse the most enjoyable?
The story unfolds like nothing else I've ever read (heard). The characters are seduced into the use of machines and then BOOM. Spectacular.What other book might you compare Robopocalypse to and why?
None......Which scene was your favorite?
Dr. Franklin Daley's confrontation with ARCOS is so chilling I listened to it 3x. Dr. Daley is the first person we meet who does not have to be convinced of the ELE (extinction level event) ARCOS represents. I am barely breathing while listening to this chapter.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed and teared up....Any additional comments?
I can' wait to finish.OMG
