  • Le infernali macchine del desiderio del dottor Hoffman o semplicemente Le infernali macchine del desiderio (The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman), pubblicato negli Stati Uniti con il titolo di The War of Dreams ("La guerra dei sogni"), è un romanzo di Angela Carter, edito nel 1972. Quest'opera picaresca è fortemente influenzata dal surrealismo, dal romanticismo, dalla teoria critica e da altre branche della filosofia continentale. Il suo stile è un amalgama di realismo magico e pastiche postmoderno. Il romanzo è stato definito finzione teoretica, perché chiama chiaramente in causa alcuni degli elementi teoretici del suo tempo, e in particolar modo il femminismo, i mass media e la controcultura.
