My book Sex Dolls at Sea: Imagined Histories of Sexual Technologies comes out in 2 WEEKS from MIT Press! It officially releases on June 14 but you can pre-order copies from Amazon. You can also follow the Twitter account for the book (@SexDollsatSea) for more updates and fun archival images.
The book is all about the history of sex dolls, sex toys, and contemporary sex tech. It argues that, in order to imagine more socially just futures for sexual technologies, we need to challenge accepted narratives about the origins of those technologies. It’s a feminist, queer intervention into the sex tech landscape – and it even involves various sexual escapades on the high seas.
I’m excited to talk to folks about the book. If you are a professor looking for guest speakers, a journalist writing about sex and/or tech, or a podcast host interested in chatting, I’d love to hear from you!
