The More You Know...

Slashdot linked up news of a book containing extremely important survival instructions:

A new book by a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute is poised to make waves behind the cloistered doors of the school's famed robotics labs, and its rights have already been optioned for a Hollywood film.

It is not a sexy roman a clef or an investigative look at the school's ties to the U.S. Defense Department, but rather a humorous guidebook for battling a robot takeover of Earth.

Humor-impaired engineers and academics (one sometimes wonders if there are any other kind) at CMU predictably aren't thrilled about it. Which of course means they're in on the takeover. I knew it!
