The rest of the title goes “Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion”. Hysterical book! Also very informative. The book describes the various types of robots that exist today, along with ones that may soon exist everywhere. Then it teaches you how to defend yourself against them and advises when to run away as fast as you can. The book is small and shiny, and the graphics alone are worth a look! Its a fun read!

Some examples:

When trying to escape from your rebelling “smart house”: “If you choose to drive, be aware that your robot car may be in cahoots with your house”.

Some things to look for when trying to decide if your servant robot is about to turn against you:
“Constant talk of human killings”
“Repetitive “Stabbing” motions”

My favorite quote is in the front of the book:
“You probally found How to Survive a Robot Uprising in the humor section. Let’s just hope that is where it belongs.”
