About this listen
Desiderio, an employee of the city under a bizarre reality attack from Doctor Hoffman's mysterious machines, has fallen in love with Albertina, the Doctor's daughter. But Albertina, a beautiful woman made of glass, seems only to appear to him in his dreams.
Meeting on his adventures a host of cannibals, centaurs and acrobats, Desiderio must battle against unreality and the warping of time and space to be with her, as the Doctor reduces Desiderio's city to a chaotic state of emergency - one ridden with madness, crime and sexual excess.
A satirical tale of magic and sex, The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman is a dazzling quest for truth, love and identity.

Great overall, more character distinction needed
it was hard to differentiate between characters, especially the peepshow proprietor and Desiderio! Nevertheless, loved it!

Despite the pretty descriptions
Sticking the hero's journey in a blender together with some philosophical and pseudoscientific mumbojumbo may make it less derivative, but it does not make it better.
