Status Updates From Electric Dreams

first chapter down and it is pretty interesting. but I have seen 2~3 misspellings/typos in just the first chapter, and considering this is a short book, it is kinda disheartening

To reject these claims is easy; what’s more interesting is to look at what the existence of this obsession says about our society today. If we look at sex robots from non-capitalist or non-heteronormative lenses … we can begin to see how they attempt to entrench dying systems, prompt political regression, and stop us from considering what else we might be working towards.

“The British colonialist project was rigidly heteronormative- in decolonial feminist theory terms, it was cisheteropatriarchal- and it expended great energy towards delegitimising and deconstructing pre-colonialist ways of practicing sex, gender, family-making and intimacy.”

“Good sex requires a vulnerability, one that cannot be achieved when all you’re doing is fucking a doll that’s been programmed to pander you.”

The first ‘sex robot’ has a fricking Scottish (Glasgow uni) accent ?! Why? Literally….? Why so specific?

Omg this is actually so good
