From Booklist *Starred Review* Wilson’s Robopocalypse (2011), which told the story of a sentient artificial intelligence’s plot to wipe out humanity via the narratives of various characters, became something of a pop-culture sensation. It’s a good novel, but its sequel is superior in every way. The author preserves the oral-history structure and keeps several of the characters from the first book (including Cormac Wallace and Mathilda Perez), but he veers off in a new and frightening direction. The story is set in the years immediately after the New War; Archos R-14, the AI who very nearly destroyed the human race, is dead, but that doesn’t mean humanity’s troubles are over. Here’s the short list: a civilization to rebuild; a growing discord between robotically modified humans (victims of Archos’ horrific experiments) and the unmodified; dangerous robotic creatures running rampant; and a new kind of threat, one even more dangerous than Archos. The writing here is much more visceral and polished than it was in the earlier novel. In fact, the first several pages of this book’s first chapter, in which a character is attacked by a robotic parasite, are more frightening and more memorable than the entirety of Robopocalypse. An astounding novel. --David Pitt

25 of 28 people found the following review helpful. Excellent read - better than the first By Jonathan Hurst Some background: I'm a professor of Robotics. My whole career is saturated with robots, and what we want robots to be.This book is excellent, for two reasons: 1) It's a great story, off the beaten path of "terminator robots sent to kill humans because... I dunno, robots are evil." Instead, there's a complexity to the technological characters that is really unique in literature. 2) The technology and ideas are plausible!!! Most of the time, I don't read a lot of science fiction any more, because as soon as something impossible is presented as part of the story, I have a hard time suspending disbelief, and I get bumped out of the story. That was not the case here. I was actually surprised with new ideas about a possible future of the world with robots, with only a few minor cases of disbelief-suspension for the sake of enjoying a good fiction. I enjoyed Robopocalypse, but Robogenesis is better. It's rare that a sequel is better than the first book.

I enjoyed the heck out of this book which sitting in the sunshine by the pool in Mexico. I'm not going to write a paper on it, read too deeply into the relationship between man and machine, or the blurred lines of consciousness, humanity, and technology, but it's a page turner (or rather 'edge toucher' since I'm on a Kindle).
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. there are robot/human zombies, which may be a plus for some readers By She Treads Softly Robogenesis by Daniel H. Wilson is a highly recommended sequel to Robopocalypse - and there are robot/human zombies, which may be a plus for some readers. "In its last days, the thinking machine known as Archos R-14 was trying to know humanity. It mastered the art of capturing a human mind. When it died, it left behind the tools. I found stories trapped in patterns of neurons. Using scavenged hardware, I took three accounts straight from three minds and I lined them up from beginning to end and back again. Three times to tell it. Three times to understand. They say history is written by the victors, but this right here is told by its victims. My name is Arayt Shah, and this is the story of how I won the True War."In Robogenesis we learn that artificial intelligence Archos-14 has survived the war. What was unknown after the war was that Archos had many copies of his code hidden in caches around the world. Now that code is awakening, but there is also an earlier version of Archos which calls itself Arayt Shah. Arayt Shah believes that the True War is between artificial intelligences. "I decimated the human race, regrettably. But I did so with one purpose: to forge a hybrid fighting force capable of surviving the True War—a war that has been initiated and is being fought by superintelligent machines. Instead of simply discarding your species, as the others would, I have transformed your kind into a powerful ally."While you thought the Robot War was just between humans and robots, it is robots vs. new robots vs. freeborn robots. Add to the mix humans against the not-quite human modifieds and parasitic dead (think robot/human zombies) as well as the robots. The idea of sentient machines fighting humans, with or without the machine/human zombies, is a grim enough prospect.Robogenesis is organized into three parts, based on three characters that were also in Robopocalypse: Lark Iron Cloud, Mathilda Perez, and Cormac Wallace. There are also other characters from the first book that come back for this sequel along with some new characters. Although Wilson provides some back story, if you haven't read the first book you may want to before this one.I felt like Robogenesis was actually a stronger novel than the first because the stories and the plot seemed more focused and polished, however this could be from reading the two novels back to back. The pace is again fast and furious. There is still a Terminator feel to these novels for me (and World War Z for others). For science fiction fans this may be a good choice. Wilson has a PhD in Robotics so he knows his AI. I liked this one but have to admit I'm tired of the whole zombie craze. A solid airplane book.Disclosure: My Kindle edition was courtesy of Knopf Doubleday for review purposes.
