You probably found 'How to Survive a Robot Uprising' in the humor section. Let's just hope that is where it belongs.

In movies and in television the robots are always evil. I guess I am not into the whole brooding cyberpunk dystopia thing.

Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.

Technology changes, but people stay the same.

Each new generation builds on the work of the previous one, gaining new perspective. New verbs are introduced. We Google strange and dangerous places. We tweet mindlessly to the cosmos. We Facebook our own grandmothers. I, for one, don't want to be left behind.

If the knowledge is spread, it cannot be stamped out.

It is not enough to live together in peace, with one race on its knees.
