The Machine Stops

E. M. Forster

Written in 1909, E. M. Forster's "The Machine Stops" is a tragically prophetic meditation upon the consequences of man's over reliance upon technology. It describes a world in which humans have lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual lives in isolation in a 'cell', with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Follow me on twitter for the latest books:  https://twitter.com/NeoOccident
