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.

We have a good selection of Star Trek novels on sale. We placed them in our Fiction section but to group them together they have been placed in the Biography section so they aren't scattered around randomly, sorted alphabetically by author as would normally be the case. If you love Star Trek come on down and take a look. These are stories that have (so far) never been made into movies or TV shows, although one can dream... For years people have watched Star Trek and wished they could mind-meld with other people the way Mr. Spock did when things got tough. The thing is, we have had this ability for a long time. It's called Books. When you read a book, you are reading the mind of the writer. But the person doesn't have to be alive for you to read their mind. Unlike Spock, you can read the mind of people who have been dead for hundreds or even thousands of years ago. No time travel required!
Do you think computers will rule the future? No way, even in Star Trek, books are important! |
