Description
“Artificial intelligence is the future, not only of Russia, but of all mankind. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become ruler of the world.” ~ Vladimir Putin, 2017
Warbot 1.0 tells the powerful story of the 2033 Sino-American War and of the soldiers, AI and autonomous machines that fight it. Set in 2033, China’s neighbors increasingly chafe at its heavy-handed efforts to dominate them as Taiwan teeters on the brink of declaring independence. When the newly elected president of the Republic of the Philippines attempts to eject Chinese military forces from his country, the People’s Republic of China launches a high-tech punitive expedition against his country as an object lesson for the other nations bordering the South China Sea. While the full weaponization of artificial intelligence, robotics, big data, cyber, and all forms of media will change how this conflict is fought, the nature of war remains the same: a brutal, deadly, and complicated contest of wills by the humans who have to fight it.
Meticulously researched, Warbot 1.0 offers a compelling picture of high-stakes future combat in a battlefield full of deadly new technologies.
