Dr. Wilson offers detailed - and hilariously deadpan - advice on how to evade robots.
Cornelia Dean, New York Times
This hilarious safety guide doubles as a tech primer.
Wired Magazine
It's a brilliant way of explaining how robots actually work, how they move, what they're made of and how they think. Wilson's presence in the field and his interviews with top researchers make this a rich AI crash-course, laid out in language as light and plain as titanium and rendered painless by its "the-robots-are-coming" gimmickry.

When the robot uprising comes (oh, and it will), this will be its first textbook.
Toronto Star
``How to Survive a Robot Uprising'' is Daniel H. Wilson's spectacular debut, a tongue-in-cheek survival guide for humans who find themselves fighting an army of robots that have gained consciousness.
Boston Herald
Forget about John Connor -- it's Daniel H. Wilson who is going to save us from the Terminators.
Forbes Magazine
What makes the book cool -- and unlike some other survival books -- is that Wilson is an actual roboticist, who got his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon last month.
Pittsburgh Post Gazette
The informational robotics sections are fascinating, and the humorous sections are well done. Wilson is himself a real-live robotics scientist, and every scenario discussed in the book is ``either possible or already being realized.''
