A fascinating, and titillating book that may change your idea of a perfect partner. We have it in the Medical section, and we promise to be discrete!
![]() Here is an interesting book for those Techies who would rather spend time with a computer than a girl/boyfriend. LOVE+SEX WITH ROBOTS by David Levy is a very interesting, and serious book on how and why people love things other than other people, like pets, appliances and their computers. In chapter 5, Why We Enjoy Sex, David says that reactions to the idea of a robot capable of performing sex acts range from outrage to "where can I buy one?" In STNG's episode, Naked Again (a remake of Captain Kirk's Naked Time) we learn that Lieutenant Yar is able to satisfy her desire for a partner with Mr. Data, an android who despite his positronic neural net is fully functional, and programmed in multiple techniques. This is not the first book on computers and robots David Levy has written, but it is one of the most oddball books I have seen on high tech. A fascinating, and titillating book that may change your idea of a perfect partner. We have it in the Medical section, and we promise to be discrete! ![]() In 1989 Guy Kawasaki published his book, The Macintosh Way documenting the trials and tribulations of his time at Apple trying to make the Mac a viable alternative to the IBM PC. We have a copy in the Booknook in the Reference section. It's hard to believe it now with Apple the most profitable company in the history of the world, having sold 243 million iOS devices and 19 million Macintosh computers in 2014, but life at Apple wasn't always so sweet and delicious. Back when the Mac was born, Apple was struggling to stay alive and some were quoted as saying that "it is all over but the crying." Guy was a real believer in the Macintosh, the first computer evangelist and inventor of the term The Art Of Guerilla Management. Guy is still very active and vocal about his passions. Come pick up this book and learn about the early days at Apple. Just $1! |
