Synopsis Fans of the various guides on the market explaining how to triumph in the most dire and outré of situations (mountain lions, parachute failure, supervillains, and the like) will need to add this all-important book to their collection. As the title suggests, it explains how to cope with a looming crisis: the revolt of machines against their human masters. According to the author, even your high-tech toaster poses a potential threat. This fully-illustrated guide provides step-by-step instructions for meeting a multitude of robotic dangers, ranging from the specific (evade thermal cameras by disguising your "human heat signature" with mud and leaves) to the more general (avoid information-collecting databases so that in the event of an uprising, the robots won't have your name when they call the roll).

Industry Reviews "Dr. Wilson offers detailed--and hilarious deadpan--advice on [surviving the robot onslaught]....But if the scenarios are outlandish (so far) the information is real....Dr. Wilson maintains [that]...all of the techniques and tools in the book already exist or are under development."
