Obsessions of Passion - A Short History of Fuck Machines

In this analysis Charles Bukowski's short story "Fuck Machine" is reinterpreted as an ironic statement on the secret and more often than not well-hidden sexual drives that fuel contemporary consumers' culture. Kicking off with an "what if"-scenario this book checks on the reality of today's reality by comparing the fuck machines described in Bukowski's text with actual fuck machines available for personal pleasure and entertainment - an exploration without prejudice into the "reality behind reality" that discloses the secret passions and obsessions of everyday life.
