Serie Robo

Är du säker på att iPhonen är din vän?
Snart har vi vant oss vid det helt uppkopplade hemmet, där kylskåpet piper när mjölken är slut. Men tänk om kiselchipsen planerar att ta över. När maskinerna vänder sig mot oss har vi inte mycket att sätta emot. Robopocalypse är en riktigt lyckad skräckthriller som talar till den lilla ludditen inom oss. Den är uppbyggd av dokumentär information enligt samma princip som World War Z, där ju zombier orsakade katastrofen.
Förlagets text: 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.
