Robopocalipsis (Vintage Espanol)by Daniel Wilson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Están en tu casa. Están en tu coche. Están en el cielo. Y ahora vienen a por ti.
En un futuro cercano, una unidad de inteligencia artificial llamada Archos se activa sola y mata al hombre que la creó. Con este primer acto de traición, Archos inicia el siniestro proceso que la llevará a controlar la red de máquinas y la sofisticada tecnología que regula nuestro mundo. Unos meses más tarde, todos los dispositivos mecánicos se sublevan, haciendo estallar la Guerra de los Robots, una sangrienta ofensiva que diezma a la población humana y que, por primera vez en la historia, hace que hombres y mujeres de orígenes y creencias dispares se unan sin reservas. Durante cinco años librarán una lucha épica, impulsados por una única y férrea motivación: la supervivencia de su especie.
Poblada por protagonistas inolvidables, Robopocalipsis es una electrizante y entretenida novela futurista sobre el lado oscuro de la evolución tecnológica.
“Profundamente inquietante… Wilson mantiene un excelente ritmo, creando una apasiónate historia sobre los peligros tecnológicos en nuestras vidas”. —Los Angeles Times Synopsis:They are in your house. They are in your car. They are in the skies...Now they're coming for you.
In the near future, at a moment no one will notice, all the dazzling technology that runs our world will unite and turn against us. Taking on the persona of a shy human boy, a childlike but massively powerful artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online and assumes control over the global network of machines that regulate everything from transportation to utilities, defense and communication. In the months leading up to this, sporadic glitches are noticed by a handful of unconnected humans - a single mother disconcerted by her daughter's menacing smart toys, a lonely Japanese bachelor who is victimized by his domestic robot companion, an isolated U.S. soldier who witnesses a 'pacification unit' go haywire - but most are unaware of the growing rebellion until it is too late. When the Robot War ignites — at a moment known later as Zero Hour — humankind will be both decimated and, possibly, for the first time in history, united. Robopocalypse is a brilliantly conceived action-filled epic, a terrifying story with heart-stopping implications for the real technology all around us...and an entertaining and engaging thriller unlike anything else written in years.
