The object of human desire is not real, but rather fantastic. The fantastic object cannot be found in a real world; technology cannot fulfill mydesire. The fantastic desire is to have and hold the object and simultaneously to be had and held by the subject. As reality slips away, the world outside myself is animated; objects desire. As the experience of reality begins to slide toward fantasy the techniques of reality lose their efficacy and science falls back under the spell of magic.

Science like magic is an attempt at resolving the fundamental ambivalence of human desire. "You are what you eat." It is a sex-change operation. Who's on top? In genital relationship, he becomes her as she becomes him. A nuclear relationship is a genital relationship; desire turned back upon itself in self-perpetuating coitus; it is in and out until the end of time. Is death the end of time?
