nutmeag 's review for:
The Machine Stops
by E.M. Forster
If this had been written today, it would be considered a satire of our modern culture. Instead, it was written over 100 years before the trends of Facebook, Skype, blogs, and everything else that keeps us from communicating face to face with people (yes, ironically, I read this story online and am writing the review through social media). The author was either extremely prescient or extremely lucky to stumble upon the idea for this short story. The story also fits in with the current trend of dystopias and post-apocalyptic books and movies.
If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic stories, you should read this. If you worry about where our technology is taking us, you should read this (or not; it may scare the pants off of you). If you like thought-provoking science fiction, you should read this. If you like good story-telling, you should read this.
