Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson
5.0
The story of the apocalypse started by a robot uprising, Robopocalypse is a story about human resilience, unpredictability, and stubbornness. Wilson raises some great questions: What makes us human? Do we become less so when we're forced to lose our compassion in dire times? What makes a hero?
While there are some technical terms and phrases in this book from an engineering standpoint, everything is concisely and easily explained, keeping you immersed in the story even if you know nothing about robotics. Every choice that a robot makes, makes sense, and every moment of humanity, from both humans and AI, that shines through the gloom is a tear that went down my cheek.
