The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster
5.0
challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

It's a dark version of Wall-E written a century early. It's even more pressing in light of ChatGPT and the explosion of AI. It's jarring how well E.M. Forster captured society so far into the future.
