By deconstructing the contexts it ends up at erotic rope bondage being described through the metaphor of an interview.

The book also contains some personal approaches of Georg Barkas to the world of erotic rope bondage. He himself dedicated his life to Kinbaku, to practice it, to teach it and to celebrate it as something that is at once eroticism, art, engineering, and impactful human interaction.Georg Barkas holds a master's degree in mathematical physics, and pursued a PhD in history and philosophy of science in Vienna and Berlin. His research was and is strongly influenced by the French poststructuralist movement. In 2014, Barkas quit academia to become a professional rope bondage artist and educator.
