This past Christmas, someone gave me a copy of Daniel Wilson’s book “How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion”. I thought it was a reasonably amusing faux guide to recognizing and neutralizing cybernetic threats (as well as a practical intro to basic real-world robotics), and then I shoved … Continue reading
