Robot Uprisings by Daniel H Wilson
Humans beware. As the robotic revolution continues to creep into our lives, it brings with it an impending sense of doom. What horrifying scenarios might unfold if our technology were to go awry? From self-aware robotic toys to intelligent machines violently malfunctioning, this anthology brings to life the half-formed questions and fears we all have about the increasing presence of robots in our lives. With contributions from a mix of bestselling, award-winning, and up-and-coming writers, and including a rare story by "the father of artificial intelligence," Dr. John McCarthy, Robot Uprisings meticulously describes the exhilarating and terrifying near-future in which humans can only survive by being cleverer than the rebellious machines they have created.John Joseph Adams is the editor of the Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy series and the bestselling editor of over thirty anthologies, including Wastelands and The Living Dead. A People's Future of the United States, Wastelands: The New Apocalypse, and the three novels in the Dystopia Triptych anthology series are among his most recent works. Barnes & Noble has dubbed John the reigning monarch of the anthology world. He is a two-time Hugo Award winner (for which he has been a nominee twelve times) and an eight-time World Fantasy Award finalist. John is also the editor and publisher of Lightspeed, a digital magazine, as well as Fantasy and Nightmare, its sibling publications. He also contributes to WIRED's The Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast as a producer. He can be found at johnjosephadams.com and on Twitter as @johnjosephadams.
