You know I love sci-fi and that I love apocalyptic stories so I was excited when this book came in to the library for me. It's not a great book and certainly not a prime example of the end-of-the-world genere, but it's a quick, easy read and the author goes a few extra steps to try and explain why the super-smart AI that causes all the problems got out of control. In other words, it's not just the hubris of man thinking he can keep an AI under control.

My problem with this book is that the story is told as a historical account of the war which is a method I've most recently seen done in [b:World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War|8908|World War Z An Oral History of the Zombie War|Max Brooks|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320398267s/8908.jpg|817], a seriously great book that accounts for the war against the zombies extremely well. Robopocalypse, unfortunately, tries to follow a similar pattern, but leaves one with only the faintest sketch of characters. I had no real emotion for any of them after I was through.

Still, an entertaining and quick read.
