Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Famous Robots and Cyborgs is a high-octane voyage through the history of our metallic friends and foes. Dan Roberts narrates the history, strengths, weaknesses, quirks and foibles of a plethora of fictional robots, cyborgs and mechanical races taking in the pronouncements of sci-fi visionaries and eminent robotics scientists along the way. Famous Robots and Cyborgs guides us through the evolution of the deadly Daleks and invincible Cybermen of 'Doctor Who' to movie classics like the mysterious Gort of 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' and the astonishing design of Robby from 'Forbidden Planet'. We encounter crazed cybernetic killers, megalomaniac computers, living spaceships, beautiful androids, human brains in metal bodies and ultra-competitive robot gladiators. Along the way, we will ask such questions as: Are robots capable of love? Can robots harm humans to save themselves? And can you really destroy a deadly cyborg assassin with the force of an exploding petroleum tanker? And which were the least convincing and most laughable movie robots of all time? Famous Robots and Cyborgs is a joyful, eclectic, informative, celebratory journey through the hi-tech world of the mechanical man (and woman). Packed full of trivia, robo-facts, controversy, history, information on robot toys and games, films, TV and books, it will delight the dedicated robot aficionado and the interested newcomer alike AUTHOR: Dan Roberts is the author of numerous books, including several Doctor Who novels since 1993. Previous books include: Several Doctor Who novels, Autonomy is due out September, 2009 The Encyclopaedia of Classic 80'd Pop I Hate Chirstmas: A Manifesto For the Modern Day Scrooge Collecting Gadgets, Games and Action Heroes (for Remember When) Illustrated A-Z of famous robots from TV, film, books, graphic novels, comics, cartoon strips, toys and other sources, including the Daleks and Robbie the Robot A series of essays including the history of robots from the Space Age to workers and companions, robots and cyborgs in film and TV and robots in advertising Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
