Idiots in the Machine
''Idiots in the Machine'' is a darkly comic 2001 novel by Edward Savio about a man who is inadvertently dragged into the media spotlight. The central character, Noel "Satan" Dorobek, is a reclusive near-genius who gets his nickname because he believes there are people living inside the earth, and that this is the ''Eden'' we were cast out of. Because he believes wearing tin foil keeps him safe from harmful gamma rays, he becomes a media sensation by marketing a successful line of tin-foil hats. The story is set in the U.S. city of Chicago, Illinois.
==Notes==
Savio was inspired to write ''Idiots'' after stumbling upon John Kennedy Toole's ''A Confederacy of Dunces''. As Savio noted in his acknowledgement, the first two paragraphs of ''Idiots'' are an homage to Toole's opening.
''Idiots in the Machine'' was actually sold as a movie before it was sold as a novel. Although it is common for film rights to be purchased before publication, Sony Pictures purchased the film rights for Academy Award-winning producer Wendy Finerman six years before the novel was published.〔Daily Variety. November 20th, 1995, Front Page.〕 Savio has said in interviews that after writing several screenplay versions, he went back and rewrote the novel.
