Document Summary

Quotables: the story reflects in the metaphor of machine sex the material conditions that drive people to perceive others as objects, for as angel concludes: How in the street slang which she could speak as easily as her native tongue, being screwed, knocked, fucked over, jossed, dragged all meant the same thing: hurt to the core (754).
