Uprising!
The robot uprising begins exactly as you'd expect -- with murderous Roomba's vacuuming old ladies to death, hordes of driverless Priuses marauding the streets, and your bathroom scale cracking mean-ass jokes about your weight. Alright, maybe it's not exactly how you'd expect. But when the robots built to serve us start tea-bagging, dry-humping, and kill-shotting humanity out of existence -- gaming supernerd Bernie Meckler knows he alone holds the key to survival. Can Bernie and his super-slacker friends survive horrific murderbot onslaughts, Godzilla-sized Cranebots, AND living in a van with each other for an entire week?
