Robopocalypse wont be a hugely fantastical tale of the robot uprising, but aims to be more realistic. Wilson has a background in robotics and artificial intelligence which Doubleday Executive Editor and Vice President Jason Kaufman claims grounds his story with a frightening level of realism and he has created an exhilarating story that we think audiences will really respond to. Wilson has a Ph.D. in robotics from Carnegie Mellon Universitys Robotics Institute, is a contributing editor to Popular Mechanics, and hosted a show on the History Channel called The Works. So yeah, expect something a lot more realistic than Transformers or Terminator Salvation.
