Required reading if you have ever wanted to improve your relations with other and your relation to yourself. The sections on Jealousy, for example, are revelatory. This is a book that could change your life and your view of yourself. The author's interviews with these women, as well as her own first-hand experiences as an operator, reveal the complex ways operators and callers negotiate the shifting borders between desire and disgust, fantasy and reality, deception and belief. Fantasy Factory raises provocative questions about the manufacture of artificial intimacy and the technological mediation of intimacy, as well as about the social construction of sexuality and gender.
Cover art features a Lupercal scene.
