Cyber Smut

A daring collection of fiction, nonfiction and poetry about life online and the impact of technology on our lives, our sexuality, and how we love. From the investigation of artificial intelligence in ''The Call'' to the unvarnished truth behind ''Send Nudes''. Some narratives are playful and romantic. Some deal with loneliness and disconnection. Some address addiction, alienation and the burning desire for fame.

"Cyber Smut is an anthology of fiction, non-fiction and poetry looking at social media and technology''s influences on relationship between people and machines. Sex is mentioned but the focus in on the desire to connect, loneliness, addictions and search for a soulmate, even a platonic one. The ''smut'' part of the title is more about the willingness of writers to look at the dark side of relationships and what pushes people and/or machines together when intimacy is desired but in short supply..."
