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.
