About this listen

The stunningly creative, epic sequel to Wilson's blockbuster thriller and New York Times best seller Robopocalypse.

"The machine is still out there. Still live."

Humankind had triumphed over the machines. At the end of Robopocalypse, the modern world was largely devastated, humankind was pressed to the point of annihilation, and the Earth was left in tatters…but the master artificial intelligence presence known as Archos had been killed.

In Robogenesis, we see that Archos has survived. Spread across the far reaches of the world, the machine code has fragmented into millions of pieces, hiding and regrouping. In a series of riveting narratives, Robogenesis explores the fates of characters new and old, robotic and human, as they fight to build a new world in the wake of a devastating war. Listeners will bear witness as survivors find one another, form into groups, and react to a drastically different (and deadly) technological landscape. All the while, the remnants of Archos's shattered intelligence are seeping deeper into new breeds of machines, mounting a war that will not allow for humans to win again.

Daniel H. Wilson makes a triumphant return to the apocalyptic world he created, for an action-filled, raucous, very smart thrill ride about humanity and technology pushed to the tipping point.

An okay story that mixes a bunch of different elements together. Biggest issue I had were there were a lot of lulls that made parts of it drag by.

An okay story.

Would you be willing to try another book from Daniel H. Wilson? Why or why not?

Daniel writes a good tale, this is closer to fantasy than science fiction. Thos overal content and structure of Robopocolypse (sp) was much better.

Any additional comments?

The first two thirds of the book was pretty good. The last few chapters were a bit tedious. This has been true of many books I read recently...almost like the publishers have a minimum number of pages required...which has in many cases resulted in a much worse experience.

need to suspend reality regularly

I hope there'll be a third book to this series! This is definitely one of my favorite post apocalyptic stories. 👍👍

Excellent!!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Not really. It was a bit too slow.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It was as I expected.

Which scene was your favorite?

Perhaps the coming out of the "human shell" for one of the characters. Made for a good visual.

Did Robogenesis inspire you to do anything?

That's an odd question, but maybe kill robots?

Any additional comments?

I never fully got into this sequel. I wanted to, because I loved the first one and gave it as gifts to family members who also loved it. This may be sacrilege, but the story dragged. And the reason, I thought, was because it was...too descriptive. Not every noun needs an adjective in front of it. My mind kept screaming "Strunk and White" as a scene dragged because of so much description and the need to always go back to the first war. We went back to the first war way too much. Each scene was difficult to maneuver through because there were just too many words on top of each other. Several times I kept thinking, get to the main point! Spit it out. It was distracting. But, maybe it was just me, I don't know.

Less is more

Almost a re-imaging, I enjoyed it, but wasn't inspired to listen to it again. That said, I would probably buy a sequel to listen to.

Good book, not as good as the first one

Excellent follow-up to the first book. The story picks up right after the first one ends. I liked the way the characters were reintroduced including some new ones. Can't wait for future stories.

Great story!

Great book for science fiction fans and action movie lovers, and well done narration. Ready for the next novel. This and Robopacalypse are some of the most unique stories I have read in a long time.


A unique vision of a world gone wrong.
