Kate Devlin is an academic whose book on sex robots is written for a popular audience. She takes her subject matter seriously but writes with humor. She draws from a wide array of disciplines to explore the technical, philosophical, psychological, social, and ethical aspects of sex robots. Devlin provides a balanced view of the various controversies surrounding sex and robots while not hesitating to share where she lands in the debates. This is an engaging and serious read. The issues Devlin show more addresses impact important moral questions our society faces. Devlin’s book brings to the forefront a subject that many may find uncomfortable but deserves serious attention. show less
Entertaining, informative and full of thoughtful ideas. Should be the template for popular science.
