This book examines how science fiction's portrayal of humanity's
desire for robotic companions influences and reflects changes in
our actual desires. It begins by taking the reader on a journey
that outlines basic human desires-in short, we are storytellers,
and we need the objects of our desire to be able to mirror that
aspect of our beings. This not only explains the reasons we seek
out differences in our mates, but also why we crave sex and romance
with robots. In creating a new species of potential companions,
science fiction highlights what we already want and how our desires
dictate-and are in return recreated- by what is written. But sex
with robots is more than a sci-fi pop-culture phenomenon; it's a
driving force in the latest technological advances in cybernetic
science. As such, this book looks at both what we imagine and what
we can create in terms of the newest iterations of robotic
companionship.
