In the last 20 years there has been a qualitative shift in how robots are imagined and placedamong us as objects. They are reimagined as friends, companions, girlfriends and even futurewives. Robots take on gendered qualities, with sex robots largely in the form of women and girls. The buyers of these 'experimental' objects are predominantly sex doll users, and sex doll users are the primary market for sex robots. Due to the interchangeability and interconnections between sex dolls and sex robots, the book will explore both categories, examining the ways in which they feed into each other.This book presents a unique, feminist approach to sex dolls and sex robots. It also takes a critical look at the academics and business narratives that serve to 'rationalise' the use of sex robots more widely and normalise their use in society.The book situates the emergency of sex robots within the wider context of the attack on women's rights, and the rise of new ontological frameworks that breakdown the distinctions (otherwise known as 'binaries') between fact and fiction, men and women, human and artefact. While support for sex robots are positioned as progressive, emancipatory, and rooted in the ethics of freedom (libertarianism), their development represents a realisation of the patriarchal myth that man is alone, and women is reduced to her sexual functioning. The book shines a light on how advocates of sex robots also envisage them as birthing male progeny in the future. Including contributions from some of the leading scholars in the field this book demonstrates how law, arts, economy, politics and culture are interconnected with technological activity.
