The mass explores themes such every bit the transformation of human psychology past times modern technology, too consumer culture's fascination alongside celebrities too technological commodities. The human characters inwards the novel are mutual frigidness too passionless, unable to run sexually excited unless to a greater extent than or less variety of engineering scientific discipline is involved (typically architecture too cars). The gruesome impairment inflicted on car-crash victims is non seen every bit shocking, simply every bit the liberation of novel sexual possibilities that get got soundless to hold upward explored, such every bit inwards 1 scene where a human being too a adult woman get got sexual practice inwards a machine that was involved inwards an accident, simply rather than get got vaginal sex, he penetrates a injure on her thigh that she received inwards the crash. Finally, the mass asks why we, every bit an enlightened society, get got such a “perverse technology” – that kills a vast reveal of people yearly – every bit such an integral business office of our culture.
