"The Machine Stops" was first published in the Oxford and Cambridge Review in 1909, saith the webpage I read it on. Fucking brilliant. Who knew EM Forster wrote science fiction? Let alone the hauntingly powerful kind. Haven't been this transfixed by a dystopia since I read Anthem during college finals.

See for yourselves.
