"The Machine Stops" is a science fiction story by E. M. Forster. After initial publication in 1909 the story was republished in Forster's The Eternal Moment and Other Stories in 1928. After being voted one of the best novellas up to 1965, it was included that same year in the populist anthology Modern Short Stories. In 1973 it was also included in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two. The story is particularly notable for predicting new technologies such as instant messaging and the Internet. In the preface to his Collected Short Stories (1947), Forster wrote that "The Machine Stops is a reaction to one of the earlier heavens of H. G. Wells." Although not all Wells's stories were optimistic about the future, this implies Forster was concerned about human dependence on technology. - Summary by WikipediaCopyright Science Genre アート 文学史・文学批評 生物科学 科学

    E. M. Forster's "Machine Stops" explores a future where humanity lives underground in isolation, relying on a vast, all-powerful machine for every need. This thought-provoking tale delves into themes of dependency, communication, and the consequences of technological advancement, raising questions about the nature of human connection and the risks of losing touch with the outside world. As we navigate an increasingly digital age, the story's warnings about over-reliance on technology and the importance of genuine human interaction remain strikingly relevant. Forster's vision serves as a timeless reminder of the delicate balance between progress and the essence of what it means to be human.
