“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?
