Here's a prediction that'll make you squirm [and get Christian ethicists all hot and bothered]: In the future, people will fall in love with robots. Robots will not be cold, predictable machines, but actual lovers -- precocious, sexy, and remarkably humanlike in appearance. Humans will even marry robots in certain obliging jurisdictions. Now send the kids into the other room while we mention the obvious, bizarre implication: Someday, people will have sex with robots.David Levy, Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships (reviewed by Joel Achenbach).
