This excellent, highly-researched, and visual book covers the era of
robots. Not only that, it covers the future of the human and how
robotics will become more widely integrated into our bodies. I was
delighted to be given 4 full pages of an interview with pictures Primo
Posthuman. Not only that, the quality of this book is such that it
is being used as required reading in Europe and will help to bring
transhumanism into university studies.<br><br>

<i>Robots</i> in one form or another have engaged the popular imagination
for centuries. Now, on the cusp of the 21st century, they are poised to
saturate every aspect of our culture, from medicine, science, and
industry to artworks, toys, and household appliances. Whether playing
prominent roles in movies like I, Robot or helping mankind explore the
surface of Mars, robots seem to be taking over the world. <br><br>
<i>Robots</i> is the first visual survey to focus on this increasingly
important, always newsworthy scientific development and its effects on
society. Covering automatons, androids, and all manner of artificial
intelligence, both fictional and real, this massive, comprehensive volume
describes the robot's fascinating history and speculates on its probable
future. Interviews with scientists, surgeons, manufacturers, science
fiction writers, artists, toy creators, and a host of other experts bring
tremendous insight to the subject, and the copious illustrations provide
visual examples of robots in every environment imaginable. As
entertaining as it is informative, this one-of-a-kind book is an
indispensable guide to the rapidly approaching Robot
Age."<br><br><x-sigsep><p></x-sigsep>
