In literature, the word "machine" serves as a multifaceted symbol that spans the literal and the metaphorical. On one hand, it denotes tangible mechanisms that drive industries or propel futuristic adventures—as seen in detailed descriptions of devices like coffee roasters [1], threshing-machines [2], or even the iconic Time Machine that transports characters beyond ordinary existence [3], [4], [5]. Conversely, writers have employed "machine" as a metaphor for human nature and societal structures. For instance, it appears in reflections on human existence, where characters deem themselves mere cogs in an impersonal mechanism of life [6], [7], [8] or are reduced to the role of a device within larger political or social systems [9], [10]. Additionally, the word often captures the spirit of mechanization in modern life, whether it is through humorous references—such as being compared to a sausage machine during turbulent experiences [11]—or through the depiction of technology’s transformative impact on society and individual identity [12], [13]. Thus, "machine" in literature operates as both a physical construct and a rich symbol of societal, technological, and existential dynamics.
