E.M. Forster is another of the dozens of important authors whom I know very little about. By recommendation of a Facebook "friend," I clicked a link to one of Forster's short stories, "The Machine Stops," and read it. Perhaps dramatic irony, perhaps just fitting placement (by posting it on FB), the story is another science fiction allegory cautioning against mankind's growing dependence upon technology.
I don't think you can really call what I'm about to say a review, but here it goes:
The story is very well written, and possessed of some nice nuance and human insight, but I liked WALL-E better.
