I am so totally in love with the original art that artist (and UCI PhD candidate) Kat Brewster created for the cover of my new book Sex Dolls at Sea: Imagined Histories of Sexual Technologies. It’s done in the style of an antique scientific illustration, with a mix of nautical items and sex toys. It really captures the spirit of the project, which is about the stories we tell about the origins of contemporary sex tech and how interrogating the history of the sex doll also gives us a way to interrogate our cultural beliefs about sex and tech.
Sex Dolls at Sea is scheduled to come out this spring – spring 2022 – from MIT Press, so keep an eye out for more updates!
