Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I lost my husband to a sex robot." You'll start hearing women saying those ominous words in the next 7 to 10 years. And when it happens, we'll all ask: How did we get here? With humor and insight, Rise of the Sex Machines lays out how culture and technology are hurling us toward the end of romance, relationships, and love. They're even changing the nature of sex itself.We have devolved to a culture of "insta-sex," where you can get your orgasm to go. Just look at Tinder and the "swipe-right/swipe-left" culture in selecting your preferred mates. Like many other aspects in our lives we demand instantly-food, music, books, movies, market information, banking, ride-hailing-we're beginning to expect our sex to be also fast and easily accessible. And people are deciding relationships are just too damn hard. That involves time in caring, being attentive and being selfless. What matters to many is the narcissistic immediate gratification. So sex robots--what's not to like? You'll get your sex quickly and just the way you like it. She won't get older, fatter or uglier on you. You can always upgrade or just replace her. You can never "cheat" on her, and she can't cheat on you. And she'll never accuse you of harassment, rape or assault. From the ever-waning interest in religion, to feminism's dismissal of men, to the new "masculinity is toxic" movement, to people choosing not to get married or have children, and to the ever-expanding embrace of multiple sexual identities and sexual freedom, author Barak Lurie shows us the factors that are conspiring to push us into the arms of sex robots. And brace for a shocking ending. It'll be a twist you never saw coming.Sex Robots will be a reality. They're already here, growing exponentially in numbers. They cannot be stopped. The more important question is: Who will resist?

Book Synopsis Adventures in the Orgasmatron by : Christopher Turner

Download or read book Adventures in the Orgasmatron written by Christopher Turner. This book was released on 2011-06-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of The Economist's 2011 Books of the Year A Boston Globe Best Nonfiction Book of 2011 Well before the 1960s, a sexual revolution was under way in America, led by expatriated European thinkers who saw a vast country ripe for liberation. In Adventures in the Orgasmatron, Christopher Turner tells the revolution's story—an illuminating, thrilling, often bizarre story of sex and science, ecstasy and repression. Central to the narrative is the orgone box—a tall, slender construction of wood, metal, and steel wool. A person who sat in the box, it was thought, could elevate his or her "orgastic potential." The box was the invention of Wilhelm Reich, an outrider psychoanalyst who faced a federal ban on the orgone box, an FBI investigation, a fraught encounter with Einstein, and bouts of paranoia. In Turner's vivid account, Reich's efforts anticipated those of Alfred Kinsey, Herbert Marcuse, and other prominent thinkers—efforts that brought about a transformation of Western views of sexuality in ways even the thinkers themselves could not have imagined.

Book Synopsis iGen by : Jean M. Twenge

Download or read book iGen written by Jean M. Twenge. This book was released on 2017-08-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen in Time, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and on CBS This Morning, BBC, PBS, CNN, and NPR, iGen is crucial reading to understand how the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later are vastly different from their Millennial predecessors, and from any other generation. With generational divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today’s rising generation of teens and young adults. Born in the mid-1990s up to the mid-2000s, iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person—perhaps contributing to their unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality. With the first members of iGen just graduating from college, we all need to understand them: friends and family need to look out for them; businesses must figure out how to recruit them and sell to them; colleges and universities must know how to educate and guide them. And members of iGen also need to understand themselves as they communicate with their elders and explain their views to their older peers. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation—and the world.
