I found the title of the blog ‘Our Cyberpunk Now’..interesting. I am a long time collector of Victorian and Edwardian Erotica. There is a sub sub genre of Cyberpunk erotica.
I was reminded of this story about a madame who runs a cyberpunk pleasure house with mechanical delights and persons of various genders and combinations thereof and is taken to task by the owner of the already established whorehouse in town. And then they take each other to task and so on.
Which makes me wonder when will we have customizable Real Dolls and robot courtesans. Hand to heart, I did ask this question at a TechCrunch disrupt and I think people thought I was being ‘cute’. I wasn’t.
Sex robots as an industry is a gold mine. Why aren’t we disrupting it? It will fix the human trafficking issues, mental/physical health issues and not to mention the legal /moral issues related to exploitative prostitution.
I feel three areas need disruption: Ag, adult entertainment and geriatric tech and the tech in USA is too lazy for the first, prudish to tackle the sex robots part and apathetic about the last one.
This would of course beg the question of what is legal and what isn’t legal when it comes to sex robots. Will we extend our morality code to robots? And then we will enter a very very gray area.
