The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster
3.0
A sort of tragic adult WALL-E. In this dystopian future, humans have ditched the real world to subsume themselves to the all-comforting machine. As noted repeatedly by others, this 1909 work is eerily apt in many of its predictions.
Yet taken on its own merits, and not merely a curiosity of apt prediction, the ending was not credibly fleshed out. I love a good tragedy, but this one needed a bit more kick.
3.5
