paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

With the rise of potentially autonomous machines, we must consider the implications of forming close bonds with intelligent systems. What does it mean to be human in a future intertwined with machines? This exploration addresses the impact of sexual companion robots on individuals and society. It examines the social changes driven by emerging technologies and our evolving relationships with machines designed to care for us. The book unfolds through a historical lens on artificial sexual companions, the evolution of modern robots, and the sci-fi narratives that envisioned robotic servitude. It also investigates artificial intelligence and the drive to create sentient beings, while delving into human psychology--how desire influences behavior and the potential for attachment to inanimate objects.
