Editorial Reviews

Review
"Cecilia Tan need[s] to be praised for [her] dedication to the cause of erotica in speculative fiction...The imaginative breadth of speculative fiction gives its writers the chance to be among the forerunners in an exciting and very necessary movement."

Product Description
Every form of technology humankind has invented has been co-opted for two uses: warfare and getting off. Electricity, internal combustion, the telephone, the Internet — there's no reason to think this trend will stop as we move into the future of nanotechnology, neuroscience, and space travel. However, whether the future is a Gernsbackian vision of flying cars and cloud cities, or a gritty gray cyberpunk world, there is always a need for sex.

Award-winning authors such as Joe Haldeman, Nalo Hopkinson, and Catherine Asaro are among the leading lights of science fiction and erotica who contribute to this book, as well as Paul DiFilippo, Sarah Micklem, Bruce Sterling, M. Christian, Thomas S. Roche, Saachi Green, and many others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and thought-provoking., November 4, 2006
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
SEX IN THE SYSTEM: STORIES OF EROTIC FUTURES, TECHNOLOGICAL STIMULATION AND THE SENSUAL LIFE OF MACHINES provides short fiction revolving around technology and sex, offering erotic science works by Elspeth Potter, Paul DiFilippo, Gavan Grant and others. The stories are futuristic and of great interest to science fiction enthusiasts - but they also hold appeal beyond the usual genre representations and general-interest fiction readers will find them equally engaging and thought-provoking.
