    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;<strong>An inspired and hilarious look at how humans can defeat the inevitable robot rebellion&#8212;as revealed by a robotics expert.</strong><br/><em> </em><br/>How do you spot a robot mimicking a human? How do you recognize and then deactivate a rebel servant robot? How do you escape a murderous &#8220;smart&#8221; house, or evade a swarm of marauding robotic flies? In this dryly hilarious survival guide, roboticist Daniel H. Wilson teaches worried humans the keys to quashing a robot mutiny.<br/> <br/>From treating laser wounds to fooling face and speech recognition, besting robot logic to engaging in hand-to-pincer combat, <em>How to Survive a Robot Uprising</em> covers every possible doomsday scenario facing the newest endangered species: humans. And with its thorough overview of current robot prototypes&#8212;including giant walkers, insect, gecko, and snake robots&#8212;<em>How to Survive a Robot Uprising </em>is also a witty yet legitimate introduction to contemporary robotics. Full of cool illustrations, and referencing some of the most famous robots in pop-culture, <em>How to Survive a Robot Uprising </em>is a one-of-a-kind book that is sure to be a hit with all ages.      <br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
