"Considers the subject of intimacy between humans and machines in fact and fiction, and addresses machines' potential to reinforce or reinvent existing attitudes and expectations about gender, race, class, disability, and other aspects of identity. Provides an overview of the history of robots and AI depicted in popular culture, explores attitudes about their potential impacts, and considers the possible ways in which future robotic design might consciously disrupt the limitations of a binary system of gender, sex, and sexuality"-- Provided by publisher.
