Overview
Diving into the highly-charged (pun intended) topic of sex robots, Electric Dreams positions them not as a threat to human women and relationships but as the last impossible promise of a dying colonialist-capital narrative. Roboticists say they’re a distracting science fiction, yet endless books, films and articles are written on the subject. Campaigns are even mounted against them. So why are sex robots such a hot topic? Let's find out.
