The Machine Stops
'You talk as if a god had made the Machine, cried the other. Men made it, do not forget that.' E.M. I believe that you pray to it when you are unhappy.
In "The Machine Stops", humanity has isolated itself beneath the ground, enmeshed in automated comforts, and in "The Celestial Omnibus" a young boy takes a trip his parents believe impossible. Forster is best known for his exquisite novels, but these two affecting short stories brilliantly combine the fantastical with the allegorical. This book contains "The Machine Stops" and "A Celestial Omnibus".
