Review Summary: The Machine Stops & Other Stories (E.M.Forster)
Review: This is an excellent book, well ahead of it's time.
It was required reading for us in prep school, and I am now purchasing a copy for my (9 year old) son.

Review Summary: A book that will fascinate you!
Review: Reading Forster's short story "The Machice Stops" made me understand and think a lot about computer use in our everyday life. His writings are like a prediction of what may come if people remain as arrogant and selfish as they already are. The book also made me think about the existance of God and the reason of our creation. I strongly recommend that you read this book having of course under consideration that it was written in 1909.
