Author Jenny Kleeman is meeting the people creating our future

Meet Jenny Kleeman, journalist and documentary-maker. Sex Robots & Vegan Meat is her first book for anyone interested in, well, sex robots, vegan meat, out of body birth bags and end of life methods. Because what if we could have babies without having to bear children, eat meat without killing animals, have the perfect sexual relationship without compromise or choose the time of our painless death? A thought-provoking book that is presented in an accessible and plain language.

To find out, Jenny Kleeman has interviewed a sex robot, eaten a priceless lab-grown chicken nugget, watched foetuses growing in plastic bags and attended members-only meetings where people learn how to kill themselves. Sex Robots & Vegan Meat is not science fiction. It’s not about what might happen one day – it’s about what is happening right now, and who is making it happen. 

Each section is a very interesting read. How they are trying to make sex robots more life like; how the majority of vegan meat developments happens; the benefits in terms of reducing stillbirths and monitoring development and the ability to have a child even when your body is unable; and a concept called the end of life programs where people are planning their deaths and ways of doing it, and not because they are ill.

Many of the people Kleeman has met say they are finding solutions to problems that have always defined and constricted humankind. But what truly motivates them? A must-read for those interested in scientific developments and the future of our society. Yes, that's you.
