Robopocalypse is a New York Times best selling science fiction book[1] by Daniel H. Wilson published on June 8, 2011. The author has a PhD in robotics from Carnegie Mellon University, and many of the robots in the novel were inspired by real-world robotics research.[2] Sources like Robert Crais and Booklist have compared the book to the works of Michael Crichton and Robert Heinlein.

PLOT: In the near future, an increasingly robot-reliant society faces extinction after a computer scientist accidentally unleashes a sentient artificial intelligence named Archos.

After failed attempts at AI, Archos becomes self aware and immediately takes steps to stop his destruction. By infecting all devices that are chip controlled (cars, elevators, robots, etc.), Archos begins a systematic attack on mankind.

Small bands of survivors find ways to circumvent the eradication. This is a story of those survivors in the months and days leading up to and following Archos' self-awareness.
