San Francisco’s own Kate Folk is about to launch a book that will definitely have you looking at objects with a new perspective, yes, we’re talking about objects like, oh, I don’t know, aircraft. In her upcoming novel Sky Daddy, set against the bustling backdrop of SFO and the weirdly sterile vibes of Silicon Valley, she dives deep into the taboo realm of objectophilia. That’s right, folks, it’s a book that explores romantic feelings for inanimate objects.

The protagonist, an online content moderator (a role that definitely involves scrolling through far too many cat memes and internet trolls), finds her kicks riding the AirTrain around SFO. One can only imagine the wild fantasies she conjures up about aircraft during her commutes, certainly a different kind of turbulence!

As KQED points out, Sky Daddy strikes a balance between dark humor and raw empathy, diving into objectophilia, a condition where individuals develop sexual or romantic attachments to non-living things. Picture the awkward family gathering afterward where someone asks, “So, what’s new?”

But wait, there’s more! Folk manages to shed light on the often-overlooked world of online content moderation, a role that involves underpaid workers sifting through the internet’s darkest corners. In a time when mental health concerns are on everyone’s lips (as they should be), Folk forces us to confront not only the bizarre but also the absurdly relatable everyday working struggle.

The book is set to hit the shelves on April 8, published by Random House, which might just be the most unexpected publisher of erotic object tales in history. Who knows? After reading this, you might find yourself giving your favorite chair a longing glance or riding public transit with a newfound attitude.

So if you’re ready for a wild ride, both literally and figuratively, grab Sky Daddy when it drops, and prepare to see the world from an entirely new angle. Just remember: it’s all in good fun, not every day can be about Netflix and chilling with actual people. Sometimes, you just need to appreciate a solid piece of machinery.
