Abstract: In this article the postmodern elements in Peter Adolphens short novel Machine are closely analyzed. Different fields and areas in the novel like the relationship between natural science and contingency, religion, politics and language will be contextualized with essentials of postmodern styles. The main emphasis will be put on the social construction of reality by means of language, religion and the writing of the novel itself. Thus, the novel Machine can be interpreted as a self-reflexive, metafictional text that ironically points out the construction of reality based on literature.
