Short Story: The Man Who Broke the Fetish Engine

Publication news: a story what I wrote appears in the latest issue of Popshot (The Fantasy Issue). The idea for this one came from browsing Amazon. I've bought enough stuff on there that the algorithms which predict my purchases have become disconcertingly accurate. The recommendations show me what I genuinely want to buy rather than what I think I want to buy or what I should probably buy... and to be honest, it's not a flattering picture. This story was an exaggeration of that idea, featuring a machine that offers you up the fantasy you really want (not the fantasy you think you want).
