Bøger af Daniel H. Wilson

I en ikke så fjern fremtid, hvor samfundene betjener sig af robotter og kunstig intelligens, udbryder et koordineret oprør fra robotternes side. Menneskene er snart nedkæmpet, kun få steder er der stadig modstand. Et dommedagsscenarie, der er mere plausibelt end de fleste, teknisk og videnskabeligt muligt. Ingen vampyrere, ingen zombier … Historien fortælles af en flok overlevere, der rundt omkring i verden oplever den langvarige og blodige krig mod maskinerne. Michael Bay, den kendte instruktør af Transformer-serierne, filmatiserer romanen i samarbejde med Stephen Spielberg. ”Terrific page-turning fun.” Stephen King, Entertainment weekly
