Love Among the Robots offers a cultural overview of fantasies and anxieties about relations with robots between 1970 and the present. I look beyond the techno-pessimistic and techno-optimistic readings of robots and our relations with them to a set of human-machine relations that provide new ways of thinking about the interplay of intimacy and power. Human entanglement with machine life is an intimate entanglement, in which both the character and the domain of the human are called into question and frequently impugned. By moving past the question of whether robots are "good" or "bad" for us, I show how intimacies between humans and robots reflect cultural and economic transformation under late stage capitalism, but more importantly, how these intimacies between humans and robots attempt to imagine, interrogate, and feel out new possibilities of community and intimacy. Relations between humans and robots have eroded certain kinds of community, but have also made room for new kinds of intimate being-together both among humans and between humans and machines. By interrogating concepts of personhood such as corporate and multispecies personhood, as well as the social and legal structures that produce and enforce them, I chart a history of robot personhood and argue for a way of thinking of emergent kinds of life and being. I move through three kinds of living with robots that provide a variety of materials for thinking about the relation between social, economic, and cultural connections: work life, domestic life, and relational life. The texts about robots that I present in the chapters that follow chart a complex web between cultural products and increasingly complex social and economic understandings of personhood, consciousness, and life.The emergence of consciousness in another life form heralds the possibility of intimacy with that consciousness. In what follows, I unpack how machines threaten to subvert the present dynamic of human exceptionalism and the anxieties about the intimacies of domination. I discuss the origin of the term "robot" and the ways in which its history still undergirds contemporary concerns about robots. Chief among these concerns is the question of robot personhood, which I address in relation to other complicated categories of persons, such as corporations, apes, lakes, and trees. I show the ways in which ubiquitous computing, or the making constantly present yet invisible of technology, has produced an environment in which many human beings are already living intimately with technology. This everyday closeness of life with technology has been the background against which the social robot-technologies designed to interact with or like humans-has come to prominence. Making sense of how humans have relationships with and through technology is crucial to defining an already present understanding of personhood implicit in such intimacies.
