Has anyone read David Levy’s [Love and Sex with Robots](http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061359750/Love_and_Sex_with_Robots/index.aspx)? I saw him on [Colbert](http://gizmodo.com/347233/love-and-sex-with-robots-author-on-colbert) and thought he might have Asperger’s, which is neither here nor there except that it makes the book more intriguing to me.

Do you get that from Electric Barbarella?

I just ordered the book on Amazon. It looks too interesting to pass up.

The Three Laws of Sexbotics

1. A sexbot must, when asked, help a human achieve orgasm.
2. A sexbot must not cause harm or infection to any human.
3. A sexbot must always maintain an ample supply of lube and toys.
