ROBOPOCALYPSE by Daniel Wilson *****

Wow what a great story. This writer has an awesome imagination. I loved it from start to finish and hardly could put it down. The premise is a giant computer named Archos buried in the Arctic begins to take over all the computers and equipment containing computers: cars, phones, electric, everything. I believe this takes place in a future containing robots.

There are several "groups"of humans that form to protect each other and rid themselves of the monsters created by Archos. He controls computers to produce other monstrosity computers solely to kill humans. Some other areas like prison camps have robots that add computer parts to humans, like new arms, brains, eyes, and all this is basically controlled by Archos. Also there are some computers who are against Archos and help the humans. Archos is quite the villain.

People band together, their information is collected and they figure out where the brain behind the chaos is and you have to read it to learn any more. It's a very good book, well written with about the maximum amount of people I could cope with. I would buy it, very good book and different from so many other books. This one doesn't make you feel like you've already read it, very original.
