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".
The Love Machine tells the story of Robin Wood, a charismatic young man who becomes the president of a television network.
The novel was adapted into a film in 1971. Written by Samuel Taylor and directed by Jack Haley Jr., it starred John Phillip Law, Dyan Cannon, Robert Ryan, Jackie Cooper, and David Hemmings.
