Desire in the Age of Robots and AI: An Investigation in Science Fiction and Fact
Rebecca Gibson
This book examines how science fiction’s portrayal of humanity’s desire for robotic companions influences and reflects changes in our actual desires. In creating a new species of potential companions, science fiction highlights what we already want and how our desires dictate—and are in return recreated— by what is written.
