Mad Mondays - When Robots Attack

One of my favorite theories for the end of humanity is the idea that robots will gain artificial intelligence and conquer the human race. Of course, this is highly unlikely, but an interesting concept, one that has been explored through years in all different sorts of media. I've compiled a list of movies, comics, TV shows, and books that concern what would happen when robots attack, so to speak. Let's start the countdown!

#5: 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke (and the movie)
Just about no one has never heard of HAL, the rogue computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

#4: The Avengers: Age of Ultron (and the Marvel comics)
Ultron is a perfect example of a rogue AI. From the Marvel comics and in the upcoming movie Age of Ultron, he is deeply malevolent toward humanity.

#3: Blade Runner
Harrison Ford stars as the blade runner, working in the future to take down rogue AIs known as replicants, who appear human.

#2: The Matrix
In The Matrix, robots have taken control of humanity, enslaving them in a dream world known as the Matrix, and using their life force to power robokind.

#1: Battlestar Galactica (the newer series)
Battlestar Galactica is a TV show about what happens when a society that has already won a war against robots (the Cylons) has to face them again, in smarter, deadlier form. In this series, the different models of the Cylons either appear robotic or human, but the problem is that there's no way to find out if someone is a human-model Cylon or not.

So that's it for Mad Monday! Please note that The Matrix and Blade Runner are rated R. :)
