O título da coletânea faz alusão a um livro dentro do audiolivro—mais precisamente, a uma peça teatral fictícia—e a seu personagem central, uma figura sobrenatural cuja existência extrapola a narração. A peça O Rei de Amarelo é mencionada em quatro dos contos, mas pouco se conhece de seu conteúdo. É certo apenas que o texto, em dois atos, leva o ouvinte à loucura, condenando sua alma à perdição. Um risco ao qual alguns aceitam se submeter, dado o caráter único da obra, um misto irresistível de beleza e decadência.

When it first appeared in France, Anti-Oedipus was hailed as a masterpiece by some and "a work of heretical madness" by others. In it, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari set forth the following theory: Western society's innate herd instinct has allowed the government, the media, and even the principles of economics to take advantage of each person's unwillingness to be cut off from the group.
