A review by impressionblend
The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster

4.0

It's absolutely WILD to me that this was written in 1909! How could someone predict so many things about the future so accurately? Loved what the author had to say about the nature of human existence, not only as far as our reliance on convenience goes and what we lose when we choose convenience, but also more generally about the systems and structures in place that we agree to adhere to. Great stuff! Too bad this wasn't a full novel.
