Love + Sex with Robots: the Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships by David Levy

Technology is constantly upgrading and improving, mostly to make our lives easier. Many of us are still waiting for flying cars. While waiting, why not start a relationship with a robot?

David Levy observes in his book, Love + Sex with Robots: the Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships, while there has been technology created to simplify our lives, it will be no different for our emotional and sexual needs. Robots already provide companionship (remember the Tamagotchi?) and clean our floors (Roomba, anyone?), so it won’t be too long until we can get a robot to interact with and date, right?

In Love + Sex with Robots, first comes love, as Levy describes the relationship between human and humans, then humans and pets, and finally humans and technology. He explains why it’s just the logical next step for robots to become available for companionship, romantic or otherwise (say goodbye to those lonely Friday nights!). He then goes on to describe the sexual relationships of humans from the evolution to sex toys to porn to prostitution.

I thought it was a definitely interesting read. It’s well-written (written so that the public could understand), and includes great pictures! I read this book when it first came out about a year ago, so it’s now available on paperback, go grab it! I hope you enjoy reading!

Breathers: a zombie's lament by S.G. Browne

breather : n. one among the living with the ability to breathe; one who is alive What if your afterlife happens to be living among the living? Depending on your viewpoint, when that afterlife is becoming a zombie, that may not sound too horrible…you’d think. S.G. Browne’s debut novel, Breathers: a zombie’s lament , gives us one possibility. Join Andy as he tries to cope and navigate thru his newly acquired lifestyle. He used to be alive with a wife and daughter until one sleepy night a bad turn that leads to a 20-foot launch into a Redwood tree trunk ends that life, only to give him a new one he isn’t sure what to make of, along with ruptured vocal cords and a limp. Two days after he’s reanimated, he’s picked up by the SPCA, who “is working to save more of us [zombies] by soliciting zombie foster homes” among their attempts. His parents begrudgingly come to claim him two days later. His new life is filled with “happy” days at home with his parents who, wished he would’ve stayed dead, a
