Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships by David N.L. Levy
Did not finish book.
I didn't get THAT far into the book, only about 60 pages or so. I dropped it because it was not what i thought it would be, and i thought it was boring. At first the idea of a book about the psychological, emotional, and cultural impacts of love/sex with robots would be interesting, but this book is more of "don't be afraid of the future because we already doing it." In my opinion this book was written to justify an emotional attachment to a non human being, but i already have no problem with what people do in their homes. Perhaps i should have read further but I would have liked to see the negative aspect of becoming attached to robots (and other inanimate objects) or perhaps a discussion into whether or not having sex with a robot constitutes rape. If a robot can feel (aka respond emotionally according to the programing as the author suggests) then would the sex act (or any act) be truly of their own choice. Like i said i am not afraid of people becoming emotional attached or having sex, i am more concerned with the status of the "inanimate object" in our society.
PS: for further discussion on robots and humans see; Animatrix, Ghost in the Shell, Chobits, (Blade Runner? to my shame i have not seen the movie but maybe ^.^)
