From the Toppings website:

”We're thrilled to be welcoming back to the bookshop a bookseller favourite and beloved local writer, Heather Parry. From the mind that brought the enthrallingly horrifying reads, Orpheus Builds a Girl and This Is My Body, Given For You, comes a pocket-friendly and thought provoking work of non-fiction with local publisher 404 Ink.

Join us for an evening in the bookshop for a wee glass of wine and what promises to be a riveting discussion!

Electric Dreams

Fans of 404 Ink's Inkling series will know that the short volumes pack a disproportionately sizeable intellectual punch.

Previously contained to the realms of science fiction, sex robots are increasingly looking like a potential scientific possibility... or are they?

Roboticists say they’re a distracting science fiction, yet endless books, films and articles are written on the subject. Campaigns are even mounted against them. So why are sex robots such a hot topic? Electric Dreams picks apart the forces that posit sex robots as either the solution to our problems or a real threat to human safety, and looks at what’s being pushed aside for us to obsess about something that will never happen.”
