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!

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.

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.

This is a collection of some computer geek's wet dreams. The stories aren't even stories, they're just sex scenes. They are extremely bizarre and took a lot of imagination to create, I'll give it that. But the only person I think who would really enjoy this book is the comic book guy from The Simpsons. If you want a real story with some steamy scenes wrapped in, try Laurell K. Hamilton.

Two great things FANTASTIC together. I read a lot of SF and not that much erotica but this book was not only great SF but also very, very hot! What else has he written? I want to read everything!

It's so rare when a science fiction writer knows how to handle sex in his stories. M. Christian, though, seems to be one of the gifted ones. I don't read erotica, as a general rule, but because this book was featured at my favorite SF store, I picked it up. A quick perusal of a few pages convinced me I had to read more. It's one of the very best books I've read in months -- he creates fantastic worlds that are simultaneously believeable and other-worldly. Some of the stories were indeed very erotic but the eroticism sort of crept up on me, which intensified both the story and the sex. Very, very well written. Bravo!

The Bachelor Machine is not simply excellent erotica set in the science fiction genre. It explores issues of identity, psychosexual dynamics, and is incredibly insightful into human nature. This is the best book I have read this year.

M. Christian blends scifi and steamy erotica in this well written tale. I highly recomend this book for somone who is looking for something to expand their boundries.

This is an exciting and unusual book! Truly mind-blowing sci-fi erotica by one of the best writers of any genre around. Give yourself the ultimate gift and buy this book today! And check out M. Christian's other collections, as well, especially my favorite: Guilty Pleasures. :)
