Abstract

Chapter 3 enters more deeply into the realm of science fiction and sex robots. A large range of examples are explored, primarily from the 1980s and 1990s. How the sex robot morphs into other forms is analysed. From a more recent perspective, important films like Her (where a man falls in love with a ‘robot’ voice) are also explained. For this chapter, Roszak, Bergson, Bakhtin, and Deleuze are all utilised, amongst others. As well as film and popular culture, the play The Nether is examined, with issues concerning non-embodied technology and sex explored.
