How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself against the Coming Rebellion Audiobook

" found it to be dry at best. i used it to fall asleep to for a week. "

" More informative than funny, if you care to learn about robotics, which I kind of didn't. "

" Great for booktalks, and will likely come in handy. "

" Plenty of quality dry humor amidst fascinating descriptions of developments in automation and AI. "

" Didn't really learn anything but I enjoyed the approach to this material. I'll be curious to try one of the authors more recent fictional treatments of this material when I need a bit of light entertainment. "

" If you want to know what is going on in the world of robotics , this is a fun and informational source. "

" I needed some light reading after COLUMBINE and this definitely fit the bill. Like most of these types of books, it got old after a while, but all in all it was quite entertaining. It will make you think again before using your Roomba! "

" Read for the title only. Corny but I liked the idea. "

" Could be an appropriate YA adult for those interested in robotics. Covers the technology with broad strokes, covering it as "self-defense against the robopocolypse (tm)". "

" Entertaining for a quick read or coffee table if robot uprisings are your thing. I ordered it with my Roomba in hopes of giving the packer at Amazon a laugh, but they shipped them separately. "

" I was expecting a lot more humour in this book but it was sadly lacking in that area except for the odd chuckle here and there. There was a lot of technical jargon in it and overall it wasn't particularly interesting. I only finished the book to claim points for a reading challenge. "

" so so funny. I could not stop laughing. "

" will come in handy someday "

" I think of the "humor" Wilson books, this is second to the "Jetpacks." "

" its a Good Book to read Just in case if Robots do take over!!!!!! "

" Fun entertaining book, no more no less... "

" An absolute blast! Being a sarcastic person with a robotics background, I can proudly say that this book was written for geeks like me. "

" I heard this book on CD. Recommended for those who are interested in robot technology and dry humor. One of my favorite sections was what to do if you are suspicious of your smart house's intentions. "

" I learned from this book to cover myself with mud to become invisible to heat seeking droids like in predator. "

" I learned that a robot uprising is inevitable, and that when my toaster chooses to burn my toast it should be taken as a warning ;) Funny mix of real robotics advancements with hilarious futuristic paranoia. "

" Informative, humorous and somewhat frightening survival guide. The author provides multiple, well-researched scenarios that keep the reader fascinated from beginning to end. "

" As much as the author's (intentionally) alarmist tone got a little repetitive, I still appreciated the book's ability to inspire me to think creatively about apocalyptic scenarios. "

" This was the book version of a Christopher Guest mockumentary. Subtle but razor-sharp humor. "

" A must have survival manual! "

" funny, at least for people who understand some robotics and artificial intelligence "

" I gave this book 1 star for the design alone. 2 stars for the content. "

" Amusing, but somehow not as funny as I'd expected it to be. Not in the class of World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, but entertaining nonetheless. "

" It is not obvious, but the rebellion has already begun. I am ready for it now. None of my GR friends have read this, and I fear for them. While everyone seems ready for the zombies, they are ignoring the real threat. It is likely already too late. "

" Cute. This took about an hour to read, and while there were a few good jokes, I am sure there must be better robot uprising survival guides. "

" This book covers robotics and the fiction dealing with the inevitable robot apocalypse. It's hilarious and insightful; a must-read for writers and readers of science-fiction. "

" its a Good Book to read Just in case if Robots do take over!!!!!! "

" Funny! It is always good to be prepared, cause you never know... "

" read this guide first before you read the novel Robopocalypse, i strongly recommend you! this guide can make the difference between life and death for the up-coming robopocalypse!good luck humanity!!!! "

" Solid starter's guide to the inevitable machine rebellion. "

" More informative than funny, if you care to learn about robotics, which I kind of didn't. "

" I was expecting a lot more humour in this book but it was sadly lacking in that area except for the odd chuckle here and there. There was a lot of technical jargon in it and overall it wasn't particularly interesting. I only finished the book to claim points for a reading challenge. "

" This serious look at a possible robot uprising gives helpful tips in case of having to defend yourself against robots. It was very amusing. "

" blatant rip off of max brooks' zombie survival guide. except he plays toward humor rather than realism "

" This is another great book for teaching How-To. It works for How-to with all different types of organizational patterns. But note there is some strong language interspersed throughout the book. "

" I needed some light reading after COLUMBINE and this definitely fit the bill. Like most of these types of books, it got old after a while, but all in all it was quite entertaining. It will make you think again before using your Roomba! "

" It wasn't quite what I was expecting. I did learn a lot about the different types of robot technology already being used. "
