Julie Wosk
Alluring Androids, Robot Women, and Electronic Eves

Julie Wosk’s exciting new book introduces the world of artificial women who seem alive—a subject that has long  fascinated filmmakers, artists, photographers, television writers,  video game designers, and robotics engineers. These synthetic creatures have a surprising appeal-- and range from early automatons to Lara Croft and the Stepford Wives to today’s female robots that look so real they can easily fool the eye.  Based on a ground-breaking  New York museum exhibit curated by the author,  this book sparkles with  illustrations--many in color-- of facsimile females from past to present.

60 pages, 26  illustrations.
