Our new favorite book

Here's the accompanying website: http://jmerton.blogspot.com/

This project is obviously right up our alley.

From the introduction:

Children love robots. Everyone seems to love robots. Well, perhaps not everyone would agree. Some people are actually quite afraid of them, or at least afraid of their potential.

I'm one of the afraid.
Are you afraid? - You should be.

The very future we fear

A gripping tale of the year...2000!

I Do?

Robot officiates at human wedding.

Coming soon, robot officiates at funeral of entire human race.

Color us surprised.

Top Ten Harbingers of the Impending Robot Apocalypse

Topless Robot published a list of the ten robots they fear will kill us in the next decade. It includes old favorites like deceptively cute Asimo.

But our pick for number one deathbot is not on the list: Roxxxy, the evil sexbot.
It is truly creepy and bound to be our angel of robodeath.

Justice

The headline says it all:

Wheelchair gunman surrenders to police robot.

We are living in the future, people.

Is it any wonder we fear them?

Growing up with things like this, is it any wonder we fear the inevitable?

RIP Art Clokey, creator of Gumby. And his robots.

Introducing Your Kids to the Impending Robot Apocalypse

If there's one thing we get asked all the time, it's this: How do I let my children know about the numerous robot rebellions we're bound to endure in the future?

From John Scieszca, the brain behind the Stinky Cheese Man and other classic picture books comes this tale of a young robot battling kitchen appliances. At last, a way to make world robot domination seem both inevitable and fun. Hooray!
