Archos speaks to Wasserman through a computerized voice and says that he is fascinated by life and wants to study life itself.

Wasserman created Archos with the ability to develop knowledge at a previously unimaginable level, just to see how far AI could evolve. Three years and eight months ago, at Lake Novus Research Laboratories in Washington state, Professor Nicholas Wasserman talks to his newly created AI (artificial intelligence) program, named Archos. The rest of Robopocalypse is Cormac’s recounting of the recordings in the hero archive, in chronological order from the invention of Archos to the end of the war. But he changes his mind when he discovers that the information cube is actually more of a “hero archive,” honoring the fallen humans. Cormac is not initially interested in sharing the cube’s information with the other surviving soldiers. The robots apparently wanted to share this information with their human enemies so the war would be remembered. As the war ends, Cormac finds a basketball-sized black cube, which contains the entire history of the robot war. Plot Ĭormac Wallace, leader of the Brightboy Squad, is a member of the human resistance against an artificial intelligence named Archos, which uses robots and other machines to take over the world.
