The short story The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster was wild. I haven’t encountered this story before, but the themes an ideas have been echoed everywhere in the tech and scifi worlds. Really intriguing how Forster depicts the average person living in ‘The Machine’ to be so unaware of their history, and basically as members of a cult that worships the technology keeping them alive underground, and unaware of the people who are still surviving and living on the surface of the Earth in the natural world.
