Guardian Angels and Other Monsters
Guardian Angels and Other Monsters | Daniel H. Wilson
6 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
From the New York Times bestselling author of Robopocalypse comes a fascinating and fantastic collection that explores complex emotional and intellectual landscapes at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human life. A VINTAGE BOOKS ORIGINAL. In "All Kinds of Proof," a down-and-out drunk makes the unlikeliest of friends when he is hired to train a mail-carrying robot; in "Blood Memory," a mother confronts the dangerous reality that her daughter will never assimilate in this world after she was the first child born through a teleportation device; in "The Blue Afternoon That Lasted Forever," a physicist rushes home to be with his daughter after he hears reports of an atmospheric anomaly which he knows to be a sign of the end of the earth; in "Miss Gloria," a robot comes back to life in many different forms in a quest to save a young girl. Guardian Angels and Other Monsters displays the depth and breadth of Daniel H. Wilson's vision and examines how artificial intelligence both saves and destroys humanity.

Started this today. Has a steampunky, fantasy, sci-fi(ish) vibe to it. ((Sorry about the Library sticker covering part of it. I hate that my library puts those right on the front like that!!!))

This was a fantastic collection of short futuristic, creepy stories. I did not want this book to end. Can't wait for more from Daniel Wilson.

I don't know why, but the bolded subtitle made me smile (my ereader sitting on top of my messy review notes).

I am so tired this morning after a long shift last night, but now I have a little break to read and recharge with futuristic stories by the #Robopocalypse author.

It's been years since I read Robopocalypse, but I'm already digging these short sci fi stories by Wilson. #robots #edelweiss #eArc #CurrentlyReading
