5.0 out of 5 stars This writer is simply incredible, September 19, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bachelor Machine (Paperback)
These stories were so richly crafted, so rich in sexual as well as technological detail, I was completely floored. M. Christian elevates erotic writing to new heights and speaks the language of the future as well as any of his sci-fi predecessors. Absolutely stunning!

5.0 out of 5 stars FutureScore, September 17, 2003
By 
George Clark (Silicon Valley) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bachelor Machine (Paperback)
The truth about science fiction, like stories about [physical activity], is that it is not what it seems: it is rarely science or fiction. M. Christian's work in 'The Bachelor Machine' recognizes this from the first page, taking erotica through some very familiar moves in an environment that all at once is both highly creative yet strikingly familiar (Haven't I dreamed here before? Isn't this a far corner of my mind?). The end result is a collection of fiction that will arouse even the most jaded sci-fi ... devotee and leave you wondering about the next few strangers you encounter (They seem so human, yet I can't help thinking...).

Get it, read it, and, if you're really adventurous, go out and live a little sci-fi of your own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alternate Universe, October 8, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bachelor Machine (Paperback)
The scenes in these stories lingered in my thoughts long after I put the book down. The most intriguing aspect was the contrast between the cold and detached environments where the characters interact and the sensuality that infuses everything. I enjoy visiting worlds beyond my own, and this book took me there.
