Sex in the System: Stories of Erotic Futures, Technological Stimulation, and the Sensual Life of Machines - Softcover
Every form of technology humankind has invented has been co-opted for two uses: warfare and getting off. Electricity, internal combustion, the telephone, the Internet there's no reason to think this trend will stop as we move into the future of nanotechnology, neuroscience, and space travel. However, whether the future is a Gernsbackian vision of flying cars and cloud cities, or a gritty gray cyberpunk world, there is always a need for sex. Award-winning authors such as Joe Haldeman, Nalo Hopkinson, and Catherine Asaro are among the leading lights of science fiction and erotica who contribute to this book, as well as Paul DiFilippo, Sarah Micklem, Bruce Sterling, M. Christian, Thomas S. Roche, Saachi Green, and many others.

Review:
"Cecilia Tan need[s] to be praised for [her] dedication to the cause of erotica in speculative fiction...The imaginative breadth of speculative fiction gives its writers the chance to be among the forerunners in an exciting and very necessary movement."
About the Author:
Editor Cecilia Tan brings to HIGH TECH SEX over a decade of experience at seeking out the best stories to meld erotic action with fantastic fiction. She has had working relationships with many of the cutting-edge erotica writers of her generation--many of whom, not coincidentally, also work in the sf/fantasy genres. Tan has been editor of Circlet Press since 1992 and her own erotic fiction has appeared everywhere from Ms. Magazine to Penthouse, from Best American Erotica to Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.
