I love a really well done book trailer. As conceptual and contextual as my brain works, sometimes some visual cues can really bring an idea home for me. Take this fan-made book trailer by Stephen Lunsford about Daniel H. Wilson’s novel Robopocalypse. Now, this book has been on my radar as something that I will one day read and very likely enjoy for a while now. But that list is pretty long ,and I live my life one book at a time. So there was no rush, at least until today.
After watching the trailer below, it’s definitely been bumped to the top of my list as the first book I will read as soon as I clear out the mountain of materials that are littering my desk as I write this very article.
About Robopocalypse:
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 unawareof 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.
