The new book by Rowland Samuel, "Men of Metal" tells the story of unusual occurrances around Oxford England involving a "robotic being" helping motorists who are in trouble. Mr Rowland , a journalist, investigates the occurrances and makes a convincing case that a certain Colin Mayhew Phd., formerly of the mini division of BMW and a robotics afficiondo, has created robotic beings out of the mini IC engine, and offers proof, among other things, with Dr. Mayhew's web site.

Publicity stunt to sell the book? Check out the site. Especially the "car stopping" video. Special effects? You engineering types can peruse the drawings.

What do you think?
