Daniel H. Wilson

In the months leading up to this, sporadic glitches are noticed by a handful of unconnected humans -- a single mother disconcerted by her daughter's menacing "smart" toys, a lonely Japanese bachelor who is victimized by his domestic robot companion, an isolated U.S. soldier who witnesses a 'pacification unit' go haywire -- but most are unaware of the growing rebellion until it is too late.When the Robot War ignites -- at a moment known...
