This book is difficult to describe, as it is not really a chronological history but rather a series of essays, many focusing on rights and protections for sex workers. If you have moral qualms with the latter then this book is not for you. There is some interesting content. I enjoyed the chapters that focused on how early internet users used message boards and sim-type games to connect for virtual sex. The speculation about the potential for VR was also interesting. For me this is the type of book best enjoyed by reading the parts that are of interest and skimming the rest.
