How to Survive a Robot Uprising

How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion addresses the scenario that occurs in countless sci-fi movies. Daniel Wilson, the author, is a robotics grad student at Carnegie Mellon, and he consulted with various robotics experts for advice. The book is largely the repetition of a joke that wasn’t that funny in the first place. Still, it’s full of interesting information about the capabilities and vulnerabilities of robots, making it a decent introduction to the subject. Besides, it’s short and full of illustrations, making it a quick read. While it’s a so-so book, it would be a good gag gift for a science-fiction fan.
