Table of ContentsReviews"""Expertly researched and persuasively argued, The Intimate Life of Computers provides an essential cultural history tracing the intersections between computers and interpersonal and familial relationships during a time when family and domestic life were in flux."" —Alice Leppert, author of TV Family Values: Gender, Domestic Labor, and 1980s Sitcoms ""In The Intimate Life of Computers, Reem Hilu shows how computer history is—and must be—feminist history. Tracking the emergence of ‘companionate computing’ across long-forgotten games, dolls, and robots, Hilu takes seriously the personal in personal computing, connecting choices in software and hardware design to conflicts over gender roles, sexuality, parenting, and childhood in 1980s America. Exquisitely researched and thoughtfully written, The Intimate Life of Computers is at once an engaging cultural history of the weird 1980s and a demand that we account for how conflicts around gender continue to shape digital technologies today."" —Jonathan Sterne, author of Diminished Faculties, MP3, and The Audible Past " Author InformationReem Hilu is assistant professor of film and media studies at Washington University in St. Louis.
