The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster

5.0

“But Humanity, in its desire for comfort, had over-reached itself. It had exploited the riches of nature too far. Quietly and complacently, it was sinking into decadence, and progress had come to mean the progress of the Machine.”

Although published in 1909, the warning strikes even more now in 2024. Brilliant and chilling sci-fi short story.
