The Machine Stops
Por E. M. FORSTER
Sinopsis
Considered one of the best early examples of science fiction, E. M. Forster’s short story, “The Machine Stops,” first published in 1909, is notable for predicting several modern technologies decades before they became practical, including the Internet and instant messaging.
"The Machine Stops" describes a world in which almost all humans have lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual lives in isolation in a cell, with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Most humans welcome this development, as they are sceptical and fearful of first-hand experience. People forget that humans created the Machine, and treat it as a mystical entity whose needs supersede their own. Those who do not accept the deity of the Machine are viewed as unmechanical and are threatened with "Homelessness"...
