In the novel Robopocalypse by Daniel Wilson, a fictional story of an apocalypse fostered by robotic intelligence is unveiled, along with the disastrous domino effect caused by their technological brilliance. Throughout each chapter, Wilson manages to clearly exploit the issues that encompass the constant battle of technology versus human nature. Each chapter contains a divergent collection of characters that specifically detail events from the apocalypse, all deriving from a broad pool of ethnic backgrounds.
