Robogenesis

If you listen in pieces — commute, chores, late night — Robogenesis by Daniel H. Wilson keeps its place in this browser.

The stunningly creative, epic sequel to Wilson’s blockbuster thriller and New York Times crowd-pleaser Robopocalypse “The machine is still out there. Still alive.” Humankind had triumphed over the machines. At the end of Robopocalypse , the modern world was largely devastated, humankind was pressed to the point of annihilation, and the earth was left in tatters . . . but the master artificial intelligence presence known as Archos had been killed. In Robogenesis , we see that Archos has survived. Spread across the far reaches of the world, the machine code has fragmented into millions of pieces, hiding and regrouping. In a series of riveting narratives, Robogenesis delves into the fates of characters new and old, robotic and human, as they fight to build a new world in the wake of a devastating war. Listeners will bear witness as survivors find one another, form into groups, and react to a drastically different (and deadly) technological landscape. All the while, the remnants of Archos’s shattered intelligence are seeping deeper into new breeds of machines, mounting a war that will not allow for humans to win again. Daniel H. Wilson makes a triumphant return to the apocalyptic world he created, for an action-filled, raucous, very smart thrill ride about humanity and technology pushed to the tipping point.
