Episode Synopsis
The Machine Stops is a captivating science fiction short story penned by E. M. Forster. Initially published in The Oxford and Cambridge Review in November 1909, this thought-provoking tale was later included in Forsters collection, The Eternal Moment and Other Stories, in 1928. Celebrated as one of the finest novellas up to 1965, it found its place in the popular anthology Modern Short Stories that same year. The narrative unfolds in a dystopian world where humanity has abandoned life on the Earths surface, with individuals confined to isolated underground cells. Here, they rely entirely on a powerful, all-encompassing Machine to fulfill their every need, both physical and spiritual. (Summary by Wikipedia)
