A hilarious romp through the past and (robotic?) future of love, lust and gluttony, by the award-winning psychologist who stimulated the Sun headline 'Boffin says we will bonk with robots'. Basic human desires are increasingly shaped and satisfied by advertising and technology. From Victorian mechanical devices designed to inhibit solitary vice to today's quivering sex aids built to enhance self-pleasuring, technology has been used both to police and promote desire. The history is shocking, hysterical, challenging - but what delights, dangers and daring diversions are in store? What can we expect from the future of desire?
