Deus ex Machina: Logos is a ghost story and debut novel by Charles Matthew Sauer. The title of the novel refers both to a ghost in a machine (cp. Koestler's The Ghost in the Machine), specifically within the software of a computer, and to a theatrical plot device. The novel is infused with some elements of Magic Realism, having many allusions to Echo and Narcissus among other Roman deities. It also contains elements of the Cyberpunk genre, including computer hardware and software jargon.

  • Deus ex Machina: Logos is a ghost story and debut novel by Charles Matthew Sauer. The title of the novel refers both to a ghost in a machine (cp. Koestler's The Ghost in the Machine), specifically within the software of a computer, and to a theatrical plot device. The novel is infused with some elements of Magic Realism, having many allusions to Echo and Narcissus among other Roman deities. It also contains elements of the Cyberpunk genre, including computer hardware and software jargon. It is a ghost story about a software engineer trapped inside the words of the book, and about how a doppelganger trapped her within the story. It is considered by some to contain the first poem, written in English, using C/C++ source code.
