Abstract

Automata and the debate around them have been around since immemorial times: from gold and clay-made entities that came to life through divine breath to robots endowed with artificial intelligence. Viktor Pelevin imagines in iPhuck 10 a society where sexual automata are a norm and Artificial Intelligence is seeking to overthrow the statu quo of humans.

Sexual desire and sexual behaviour become in the novel a means of manipulation all in the name of power and knowledge
