DANIEL H. WILSON is the author of the "New York Times" bestseller "Robopocalypse" and the nonfiction titles "How to Survive a Robot Uprising," "Where's My Jetpack?," "How to Build a Robot Army," "The Mad Scientist Hall of Fame," and "Bro-Jitsu: The Martial Art of Sibling Smackdown."
PRAISE FOR DANIEL H. WILSON'S "AMPED:
"
"A fast-paced narrative, not too far away at all from everyday
experience, that treats an unsettling question: How long will
tolerance last once you can buy a better brain? Mr. Wilson
recognizes that, in the modern world, the battlegrounds would be
legal and political, not just physical."
"The Wall Street Journal"
"Wilson's latest novel is AMPED, a post-apocalyptic high-tech
apocalypse set in the same mold as his spectacular debut,
"Robopocalypse." Wilson is a roboticist by trade and he combines
his background in space and engineering with a knack for fast-paced
narrative. Wilson has done a very good job with AMPED. [He] taps
into something primal with AMPED, some of the deep questions about
medical ethics, the social effects of technology, and the way that
class and politics make technological questions much harder to
resolve."
Cory Doctorow, " Boing Boing"
"With AMPED, Wilson has taken another step to claiming the late
Michael Crichton's crown as the public's sci-fi thriller writer of
choice. Wilson hits all the notes in the right order and the book's
pace is relentless. And perhaps best of all, he leavens his
cautionary message with good-sized dollops of fistfights and
gunfire. AMPED might have a commendable message about tolerance and
civil rights, but Wilson doesn't let the message get in the way of
our fun."
"Richmond Times-Dispatch"
"Fast-paced...fascinating...for hardcore sci-fi readers, AMPED
offers plenty of juicy details to savor. As he showed in his
bestselling thriller "Robopocalypse," Daniel H. Wilson can write.
The Carnegie Mellon-trained roboticist has a voice and style very
much like Stephen King. But unlike King, Wilson also has the chops
to base the weird beings in his stories on hard science. "
"Wired's Geek Dad"
"Entertaining...propulsive... AMPED [is] a gripping story of a
community of Amps trying to make it in the middle of a prejudiced

Raves for the "New York Times" Bestseller
"Robopocalypse
"
"An ingenious, instantly visual story of war between humans and
robots."
--Janet Maslin, "The New York Times"
"It's terrific page-turning fun."
--Stephen King, "Entertainment Weekly"
""Robopocalypse" reminded me of Michael Crichton when he was young
and the best in the business. This novel is brilliant, beautifully
conceived, beautifully written (high-five, Dr. Wilson) . . . but
what makes it is the humanity. Wilson doesn't waste his time
writing about 'things, ' he's writing about human being-- fear,
love, courage, hope. I loved it."
--Robert Crais, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author
""Robopocalypse" will grip your imagination from the first word to
the last, on a wild rip you won't soon forget."
--Clive Cussler, "New York Times" bestselling author
"The parts of this book enter your mind, piece by piece, where they
self-assemble into a story that makes you think, makes you feel,
and makes you scared."
--Charles Yu, author of "How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional
Universe"
""Robopocalypse" is . . . a gripping, utterly plausible, often
terrifying account of a global apocalypse. . . . [The novel has]
heart, in the form of character arcs, wherein heroes learn and
change and grow, and we get to root for them."
--Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.net
"An "Andromeda Strain" for the new century, this is visionary
fiction at its best: harrowing, brilliantly rendered, and far, far
too believable."
--Lincoln Child, "New York Times "bestselling author of "Deep
Storm"
