How to Survive a Robot Uprising
Daniel H. Wilson, a 27 year old roboticist from Carnegie Mellon, has written a book entitled, "How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion." Paramount has already purchased the movie rights. It is mostly humorous, with its "pictures of old school video-game robots zapping humans with lasers," but also has some real tips:
A robot trying to find you will use thermal imaging based on the roughly 91-degree temperature of human skin, so smearing yourself in cool mud will confuse them. If being chased by an unmanned robot vehicle, flee to a rustic, unmapped area with lots of obstacles. If your robot "smart" house -- one wired with video surveillance and computer gear -- tries to trap you, chop your way out with an ax and don't take your cell phone, because the house will track you with it.
