Book Reviews of Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships
Book Review: Poorly edited, but interesting ideas...
Summary: 4 Stars
The ideas are interesting ones. I think its important for people to realize how ubiquitous technology has become in every area of our lives, including love and sex. This wasn't as shocking as I originally thought, but I am a researcher in the field (AI and HCI), so I have some experience and know about how people react to robots and AI software.
While I liked the book, the editing was pretty bad. A number of sentences were obviously ungrammatical (most likely typos), and I found a number of misspelling of people's names, and incorrect citations. Perhaps the upcoming paperback will fix some of these problems?
