Publisher's Synopsis
Artificial life forms are often created to serve human ends... but do they have the capacity to understand human emotions and sexuality? In this volume, seventeen authors address this question. Their answers are sexy, funny, sweet and sometimes chilling. Read on for an exploration of the boundaries of our human experience, and a look at the possibilities inherent in artificial consciousness. Raymond falls in love with a robot courtesan... but will loving him back destroy her programming forever? A grieving father buys a robotic love doll to take home to his family... but is there more to his motivations than loneliness? How can Frank move past his robot wife's affair with his PDA? The answers to these questions, and many more, lie inside.
