Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson (Novel)

The harrowing and epic tale of how humanity battles a near-future robot uprising. Daniel H. Wilson's entertaining and engaging thriller is unlike anything else written in years. In the not-so-distant future, all the dazzling technology that runs our world unites and turns against humankind. 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. When this Robot War ignites--a moment that will later be known as Zero Hour--humankind is almost annihilated and yet possibly, for the first time in history, united. Narrated as an oral history told by a global cast of survivors of this bloody confrontation between man and machine, Robopocalypse is a brilliantly conceived action-filled epic, a terrifying story with heart-stopping implications for the real technology all around us. You'll never look at a computer the same way again.
