March of the Machines: Why the New Race of Robots Will Rule the World (1997, hardcover), published in paperback as March of the Machines: The Breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence (2004), is a book by Kevin Warwick. It presents an overview of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) and then imagines future scenarios. In particular, Warwick finds it likely that AIs will become smart enough to replace humans, and humans may be unable to stop them.
