Robogenesis

A Novel

By: Daniel H. Wilson

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews, Emily Rankin, Mike Chamberlain

The stunningly creative, epic sequel to Wilson's blockbuster thriller and New York Times bestseller Robopocalypse

"The machine is still out there. Still alive."

Humankind had triumphed over the machines. At the end of Robopocalypse, the modern world was largely devastated, humankind was pressed to the point of annihilation, and the earth was left in tatters . . . but the master artificial intelligence presence known as Archos had been killed.

In Robogenesis, we see that Archos has survived. Spread across the far reaches of the world, the machine code has fragmented into millions of pieces, hiding and regrouping. In a series of riveting narratives, Robogenesis explores the fates of characters new and old, robotic and human, as they fight to build a new world in the wake of a devastating war. Readers will bear witness as survivors find one another, form into groups, and react to a drastically different (and deadly) technological landscape. All the while, the remnants of Archos's shattered intelligence are seeping deeper into new breeds of machines, mounting a war that will not allow for humans to win again.

Daniel H. Wilson makes a triumphant return to the apocalyptic world he created, for an action-filled, raucous, very smart thrill ride about humanity and technology pushed to the tipping point.

An okay story.

An okay story that mixes a bunch of different elements together. Biggest issue I had were there were a lot of lulls that made parts of it drag by.

Superb Novel!

This was the excellent conclusion of a great story! I really hope they make this into a movie!

Good read

Well thought out, easy to follow, concepts developed well and explained for those that might not understand

need to suspend reality regularly

Would you be willing to try another book from Daniel H. Wilson? Why or why not?

Daniel writes a good tale, this is closer to fantasy than science fiction. Thos overal content and structure of Robopocolypse (sp) was much better.

Any additional comments?

The first two thirds of the book was pretty good. The last few chapters were a bit tedious. This has been true of many books I read recently...almost like the publishers have a minimum number of pages required...which has in many cases resulted in a much worse experience.

suspenseful joy

I love this book I plan on sharing it with friends and family. I enjoyed the character build up.
