An Investigation in Science Fiction and Fact
Rebecca Gibson
Desire in the Age of Robots and AI “Rebecca Gibson has given us this wonderful book that details how these technologies could have an even more profound influence—redefining that in us which is most human.” —Chris Irwin Davis, Ph.D., A.I. Research Scientist “Half of the time I plug into the world through technology I am wondering about the ‘people’ of the other side…. As the online space expands, we become increasingly less sure where we stand in relation to digital simulacrums. Gibson’s book is a delightful and dirty look on what separates us from the machines, and exactly what those differences say about us if they even exist anymore.” —Jef Rouner, author of The Rook Circle “Well researched, engaging, and thought provoking, Dr. Gibson has given humanity a lot to consider when it comes to our desires and creations. The dance between science fiction and advances in technology is always complex and uniquely intertwined, but the threads here are neatly pulled apart and examined in such an insightful way that the reader can’t help but find new understanding of their own inner world and the desires inherent to the human condition. A winning combination of entertaining and well documented information and analysis!” —Eli Girvin, Talent Analytics Strategy Consultant with IBM
