Sinopsis
"The Machine Stops" was first published in November of 1909 and is the one science fiction story in this collection, pre-dating both "Brave New World" and "1984". It tells of a dystopian future - 'the machine' has taken over the lives of men and it has an uncomfortable resonance today when so much human activity depends on computers. Forster referred to his stories as 'fantasies' and they contrast the freedom of paganism with the restraints of English civilization, the personal, sensual delights of the body with the impersonal, inhibiting rules imposed by society. Rich in irony and alive with sharp observations on the surprises life holds, the stories often feature violent events, discomforting coincidences. This volume includes all twelve stories published during Forster's lifetime.

Acerca del autor
E. M. Forster (1879 -1970) was an English novelist, known for his examinations of early twentieth century British society. He attended King's College, Cambridge, and travelled extensively in Europe before writing the novels that made him famous - Where Angels Fear to Tread, The Longest Journey, A Room With A View, Howard's End and A Passage to India, which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1924. His social circle included Siegfried Sassoon, Christopher Isherwood, and members of the Bloomsbury Group. He died of a stroke in 1970, aged ninety-one.
