Reader Reviews:
A wonderful book (10/10 people found this helpful)
A wonderful book of short stories looking at the relationship between man and the natural world. The Machine Stops is a stark warning against too much reliance on technology, relevant now even more than when it was written, with the increase of computers in the home and the internet.
A tremendous science fiction story (Machine Stops) (7/7 people found this helpful)
A brilliant science fiction story written at a time whn few stories like that were written. It is about an underground city where suddenly the machinery preserving life begins to break down. Beautifully written.
