From her introduction:

"There may be a number of reasons you have picked up this book. Perhaps it was the word ‘sex’. Perhaps it was the word ‘robots’. Perhaps it was the two words together: a compelling mainstay of science fiction now becoming science fact. Perhaps you judged the book by its cover? It’s a nice cover.

Or perhaps you bought it as a present for someone to embarrass the hell out of them.

Hello, recipient.

Perhaps, though, you were curious as to how this could possibly be a subject of any scientific merit whatsoever? That’s a perfectly valid starting point and I hope that in the course of the next ten chapters you will allow me to lay out before you the wonderful stories, ideas, science and state of the art technology that show that there is much, much more to a topic that initially seems so trivial."

Here's my review.
