Robopocalpyse is a fiction story about the end of the world when the robots rise up and murder the human race, or try to. This book was told through several various viewpoints and we see what several groups of people do across the world. I read the whole thing in one go and damn was it exhilarating and terrifying.
I really enjoyed this book. It was entertaining. It was also slightly depressing, but it never got so hopeless that I dreaded continuing. Which is easy to do in apocalyptic fiction. I loved Takeo's perspective and how he brought robots to his side. I was also very invested in Mathilda storyline. I really want to know more about her and her brother. There were several times the overarching narration said she would be important and she was, but I feel like we didn't get to see all of it?
Overall, enjoyable but definitely don't read this while driving!
