The Machine Stops
by E.M. Forster
I bought this little book in a science fiction and fantasy bookshop in Edinburgh, having not realised that Forster wrote Sci-Fi. It is quite spooky how close his imagining of the future is to our present; really very close. Forster clearly saw what might be lost with the rise of the machine, and it is a warning we should still heed today. There is a second story in the book, called The Celestial Omnibus, which reminded me of C.S. Lewis, in a way; a reminder to experience child like joy in literature.
