Rise Of The Sex Machines: How culture and technology are changing relationships forever-and who will resist - Paperback

by Barak Lurie (Author)

"I lost my husband to a sex robot." You'll start hearing women saying those ominous words in the next 7 to 10 years. And when it happens, we'll all ask: How did we get here? With humor and insight, Rise of the Sex Machines lays out how culture and technology are hurling us toward the end of romance, relationships, and love. They're even changing the nature of sex itself. We've entered into a culture of "insta-sex," where you can get your orgasm to go. Like many other aspects in our lives we demand instantly-food, music, books, movies, market information, banking, ride-hailing-we're beginning to expect our sex to be just as fast and accessible. From the ever-waning interest in religion, to feminism's dismissal of men, to the new "masculinity is toxic" movement, to people choosing not to get married or have children, and to the ever-expanding embrace of multiple sexual identities and sexual freedom, author Barak Lurie shows us the factors that are conspiring to push us into the arms of sex robots. Who will resist? And brace for a shocking ending. It'll be a twist you never saw coming.
