The Love Machine is a 1969 novel written by Jacqueline Susann. Her first book following her hugely successful Valley of the Dolls, it was published by Simon and Schuster in June 1969. While it ultimately was not as successful as Dolls, it was an enormous best-seller and, like its predecessor, it is something of a "roman à clef". In 1971 it was adapted into a film of the same title.
The Love Machine tells the story of Robin Stone, a charismatic young man who becomes the president of a television network.
