Description
Electronic Eros: Bodies and Desire in the Postindustrial Age by Claudia Springer explores how technology is shaping our understanding of sex and relationships. Through a close analysis of films, cyberpunk fiction, comic books, television, software, and writing on virtual reality and artificial intelligence, Springer reveals how these futuristic images reflect current debates about gender roles and sexuality. Springer examines the ways in which new electronic technologies are influencing popular culture, from inspiring changes in some texts to recycling conventions from the past. Her study draws on psychoanalytical and film theory, as well as the history of technology, to provide a nuanced understanding of the role of eroticism and gender in these cultural forms. This book is an accessible and engaging introduction to the intersection of technology and sex, making it of interest to students, scholars, and general readers alike.
