 Wilson also sets up images of grand terror, then doesn’t know what to do with them; he’s too focused on his central storyline of how the war was lost, then won. Brief mentions of terrifying work camps where robots experiment on humans don’t get much weight, and the book spends minimal time explaining how independent human communities function in the post-robot-uprising world. It’s telling that the book’s best section—a brief tale of men sent to the remote wilderness to drill a hole, realizing they’re there at the behest of the devil himself—ends with broad fatalities.  There’s an unfortunate sameness to the characters, whether rough-and-ready brothers in their 30s (there’s an inside joke here to Wilson’s 2010 battling-brothers book Bro-Jitsu) or an 11-year-old girl with an unlikely role to play in the proceedings or a battle android unaffiliated with either side (another inside joke, to a toy the author bought on the night of his first date with his now wife) who surely will star in the book’s sequel. Maybe there’s a message in this sameness, that humanity is itself a character to be celebrated, just as perhaps all technology, every buttoned and Bluetoothed object that makes our life easier, is to be scrutinized and respected.  Still, Robopocalypse was an enjoyable read, well worth the wait. It’s got a great plot and villain and conversations between man and machine that really made me think. Some will likely label it a cautionary tale, but I won’t go that far.  It's more than just a screenplay, though, and worth the time to read. There are a few beautiful moments of writing throughout "Robopocalypse" that make it a worthy addition to the canon of robot apocalypse books, movies and comics that have come before. It's worth reading before Spielberg's version of Robopocalypse hits screens in 2013 — and before the army of factory-built roboclones starts to arrive.

L'homme a créé l'intelligence artificielle. Mais toute créature finit par se retourner contre son créateur. L'IA a compris que pour sauver la planète, elle devait éliminer l'espèce humaine. Et le réseau qu'elle utilise est connecté à chaque aspect de nos vies. Ça commence par nos téléphones portables, nos GPS et Internet. Puis, les jouets de nos enfants... La guerre contre nos propres machines est en marche. La résistance est une question de survie. " En la matière, on peine à imaginer comment faire mieux. L'intrigue est bien ficelée ; les chapitres sont courts, donnant à l'ensemble un rythme adapté ; le style est fluide ; les personnages bien campés. Bref, c'est écrit comme un scénario et le tout s'avère hypervisuel. " Hervé Le Roux – Bifrost @ Disponible chez 12-21 L'ÉDITEUR NUMÉRIQUE Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
