Están en tu casa. Están en tu coche. Están en el cielo. Y ahora vienen a por ti. En un futuro cercano, una unidad de inteligencia artificial llamada Archos se activa sola y mata al hombre que la creó. Con este primer acto de traición, Archos inicia el siniestro proceso que la llevará a controlar la red de máquinas y la sofisticada tecnología que regula nuestro mundo. Unos meses más tarde, todos los dispositivos mecánicos se sublevan, haciendo estallar la Guerra de los Robots, una sangrienta ofensiva que diezma a la población humana y que, por primera vez en la historia, hace que hombres y mujeres de orígenes y creencias dispares se unan sin reservas. Durante cinco años librarán una lucha épica, impulsados por una única y férrea motivación: la supervivencia de su especie. Poblada por protagonistas inolvidables, Robopocalipsis es una electrizante y entretenida novela futurista sobre el lado oscuro de la evolución tecnológica. “Profundamente inquietante… Wilson mantiene un excelente ritmo, creando una apasiónate historia sobre los peligros tecnológicos en nuestras vidas”. —Los Angeles Times

Burger Lab examines the elements that make up the ultimate burger: the perfect squishy bun; a pickle that has just the right amount of tang and crunch; the exact quantity of mayo and ketchup to deliver maximum flavor without over- powering the burger; and the ultimate pattie that's meaty, juicy and umami- intense. It is a science to get all the elements perfect, but in this unique cookbook Daniel Wilson shows us how to get the chemistry exactly right.

The book's unexpected and fun design, with close-up cross- sections of burgers, illustrative elements throughout and even including an amazing pop-out burger illustration on the endpapers make this the most exciting burger book ever!

In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe known as The Andromeda Strain nearly wiped out humanity, killing everyone in Piedmont, Arizona, except for an elderly man and an infant boy. A team of scientists from Project Wildfire managed to avert disaster just before a nuclear detonation. Over the years, research continued, and the world believed it was safe. However, deep within Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance remained vigilant for the microbe's return. As the project faced shutdown, a Brazilian drone detected an anomaly in the jungle, revealing the chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. This alarming find prompted the activation of a new Project Wildfire, sending a diverse team of global experts to confront a potential apocalypse. The microbe, however, is evolving rapidly. If the team cannot reach the quarantine zone, enter the anomaly, and devise a solution, this new threat could lead to the annihilation of all life on Earth.
Strange events unfold that are dismissed by many, yet small technological issues could lead to a major disaster for humanity. The world's technology may unite against us, testing humanity's ability to regain control. A film adaptation by Steven Spielberg is planned for 2013.
