    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book investigates online sexual interaction and its place within the law. Though this question is not new, the technological landscape is evolving rapidly enough to warrant further analysis. We are witnessing an explosion of virtual and augmented reality technology which outpaces legal development. Relying on multidisciplinary research from computer scientists, psychologists, philosophers, lawyers and engineers, this book explores the place of sexual wrongdoing and justice in this virtual new world. As an example it will focus on the provisions of the Sexual Offences Act 2003: the challenges surrounding physical touch and the ambiguity surrounding gender, deception, and consent in a virtual future.
