Description
In this thought-provoking exploration, Jennifer Rhee delves into the complex relationship between humans and robots, examining how our perceptions of ourselves are shaped by the dehumanization of labor. By tracing the connections between anthropomorphization and exploited labor, Rhee reveals the ways in which our cultural and scientific visions of humans and robots have real-life consequences. From science fiction to everyday life, this book sheds light on the normative assumptions that underlie emotional labor and the ways in which they are shaped by societal expectations. Through a nuanced analysis of the robotic imaginary, Rhee invites readers to reconsider the boundaries between human and machine. By exploring the intersections of technology, culture, and society, this book offers a timely and important contribution to our understanding of what it means to be human.
