The person who wrote Howard's End and A Room With a View wrote this gem? In 1909? Excellent short story. The first chapter could be a diatribe against over-use of the Internet. And there are flavors of this story in many more recent SF shorts. (Plus, Disney stole a lot of the concepts in this future world for Wall-E!)
