So the Robots Are Coming: A Survival Guide for People Who Are Mostly Kidding

The people building AI just told us to slow down. This is the guide for the rest of us.

When the CEO of one of the world's leading AI companies publishes an essay saying "we must slow the pace," and the heads of OpenAI and SpaceX agree with him, you have two options: panic, or prepare. This book is for people choosing a third option: laugh while preparing.

So the Robots Are Coming is a survival guide for people who are mostly kidding. Written by Otto Correct (not a scientist, not an engineer, does spreadsheets for a living and is bad at them), it covers everything you need for the robot uprising: how to tell if you're talking to an AI, why you should befriend one robot early, what to do when your fridge achieves sentience, how to build a Faraday cage out of garage stuff, and the definitive ranking of emergency snacks.

Every chapter includes Human Tells: proof a person wrote this, because that's a feature now, not a given. Plus the Official-ish Humanity Quiz, built to be screenshotted and argued about in the group chat.

Short, funny, and accidentally useful. Read it in one sitting.
