E. M. Forster

Tells of a dystopian future - the machine has taken over the lives of men and it has an uncomfortable resonance when so much human activity depends on computers.

The Machine Stops and Other Stories

"The collection provides a fascinating glimpse into Forster's abiding interest in paganism and mythology, the mysteries of nature and the possibilities of magical transformation. Here too are fantasies of the afterlife, ... an ambitious experiment in science-fiction ... [and] a realistic study of self-delusion and compromise."--Jacket.
