|title=Robot Overlords

|rating=2

|genre=Science Fiction

|summary=In the not too distant future, an evil alien robot army has enslaved humanity (as evil robot armies so often do), fitting each person with a tracking implant that will ensure that they remain confined to their homes for the next seven years. Gigantic sentries roam the streets in search of lawbreakers and mankind is under constant surveillance. Confinement is making everyone stir-crazy and the brave few who try to outsmart their captors are incinerated on sight. The biggest mystery, however, is why the robots are here and what they want with humankind. Will they really leave, as promised, once the seven years are up? After all, robots never lie.

|summary=Sebastian has lost both his parents. His father died of a mysterious wasting disease whereas his mother is just... well... lost. The only thing he has he has to remember his mother by is a note telling him to go to the mysterious Steam Academy. However, first he has to find his way there in a futuristic Australia without widespread technology but with dangerous cyborg warriors. What's worse, despite fighting humans in general for thousands of years, the cyborgs now seem to have turned their attention and energy to killing Sebastian in particular. What's he done to deserve that? More to the point, whatever he's done, how can he survive?

~~|title=Snowpiercer Vol.1 - The Escape~~

~~|author=Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Graphic Novels~~

|summary=All of humankind is living on a single train. I know British commuters feel that way at times, but this is a much different circumstance – it is a train miles long, running non-stop as a self-contained unit across tracks circling a desolately frozen Earth, moving on endlessly until, perhaps some time in the distant future, the planet can recover from the cataclysm that froze it. It's certainly been going on long enough for it to have a culture – a hierarchical society from the rich and leisured classes near the front, through the orgiasts, past the useful carriages set aside for producing food, to the underclass at the end. It's all set in its routine, set in motion. But there are two fishes out of water – a man from the rear who escaped, and a middle-class woman working with civil rights campaigners.
