Are there intertextual text passages in the work of John Sladek's "Roderick or The Education of a Young Machine" and what are their dominant characteristics? To answer this question, there is a general, theoretical introduction to the topic of intertextuality. Subsequently, a model of intertextual analysis will be presented which will serve as the basis for my methodological investigation. Thereafter, in chapter four, the analysis of exemplary text passages follows. In the last chapter the author will answer the research question and explain my findings.
