Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson

Oh, baby, I can't wait to see this movie! How lucky was this author? Gee, I'll write a book and sell it to Doubleday, oh, and, wait, Steven Spielberg will direct a movie from it, too (out in 2013).

Think of Independence Day and Armageddon and all those movies where Will Smith kicks ass. Take it times 10. Now you have a world where robots are essential to humans--they are our domestics and factory workers. But a human creates a monster who thinks too well and takes over all computers. Sounds simple, but havoc is wrecked all over the world for years. Humans survive, but it takes several heroes to lead the resistance in the New War. The action doesn't stop and you want the characters to rescue you on their way to save the world. Read it--all your friends will be talking about it soon anyway....
