DESCRIPTION

Subtitle: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships

From Pygmalion falling for his chiseled Galatea to Dr. Frankenstein marveling at his creature to the man-meets-machine fiction of Philip K. Dick and Michael Crichton, humans have been enthralled by the possibilities of emotional relationships with their technological creations. Synthesizing cutting-edge research in robotics with the cultural history and psychology of artificial intelligence, Love and Sex with Robots explores this fascination and its far-reaching implications. Artificial intelligence expert David Levy looks at the evolution of human interactions with their machines as technology has become more sophisticated and cultural attitudes toward love and sex have changed over the years. His shocking yet persuasive argument is that the entities we once deemed cold and mechanical will soon become the objects of real companionship and human desire.



REVIEWS

“Fascinating. It raises important questions about the future of robots—what we might want from them, and what our interactions with them might teach us about ourselves.”—New Scientist

“[Levy] comes up with so many rational, scientific, and sociologically sound arguments that the deeper you get into the book, the more difficult it becomes to dismiss his thesis.”—Chicago Sun-Times

“…will appeal to readers keen on pondering futuristic scenarios.”—Publishers Weekly

DAVID LEVY is an internationally recognized expert on artificial intelligence. The president of the International Computer Games Association, he is also the author of the industry primer Robots Unlimited. He lives in London.
