krstwlhs 's review for:

The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster
4.0

 A student recommended this to me and I’m glad I took up the recommendation. The story describes a world where humans can’t live on the surface of the earth anymore. There are two characters that live on opposite sides of the world and communicate through some kind of IM system. She goes to visit her son and he shares his rebellious ideas with her.

I enjoyed the writing style and I enjoyed the story as it was - it definitely could have been longer!
