LA Times Bestseller

Back from my book tour, I'm now having a wonderful time tracking the progress of Robopocalypse. I was too frazzled last week to realize that Robo had debuted on the La Times Bestseller list at #8! This week is has dipped to #15, but still, how rad is that?

California love.

Talking 'Bout the Armageddon


CNet.com has a Q&A up with me, about some of the details behind Robopocalypse. The interview was conducted with my old friend Tim Hornyak, author of Loving the Machine. Tim was also my go-to research source on life in Tokyo while I was writing.

book tour -- University Bookstore Seattle, WA

I'll be speaking tonight at 7pm PST at the University Bookstore in lovely Seattle, WA. I lived in Seattle for a few years while working for Intel Research (and my degree), and I love this place. Kind of a rougher version of Portland. Anyway, if you're around please come out and experience the Robopocalypse first hand!

The ROBOPOCALYPSE is here!

Oh, hi!Wow... my first novel is released today!

ROBOPOCALYPSE tells the story of a group of people trying to survive after technology has turned against us. I've been so lucky to get great press so far, and a great push from Doubleday. And it doesn't hurt that Spielberg plans to direct the movie...
Stephen King called it amazing. The New York Times says it's "an ingenious, instantly visual story." And Clive Cussler calls it "a brilliantly conceived thriller that could become horrific reality."
And today -- finally -- you can buy ROBO from any of these fine retailers!
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
Powell's Books
Borders
So please, buy Robopocalypse for yourself, your friends, and any family pets!

Robo is Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi Pick of the Month

Thanks, James!
The science fiction and fantasy expert at Barnes and Noble has chosen Robopocalypse as his top book for the month of June.
"Topping my list of June titles is Daniel H. Wilson's Robopocalypse, a cautionary but -- we can only hope -- not prophetic tale about our reliance on technology. While its themes are well worth pondering, what makes it especially apt for summer reading is the action-packed plot that brings them to life..."
