E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was an English novelist, short story
writer, essayist, and librettist. He is known best for his ironic
and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in
early 20th-century British society. Forster's humanistic impulse
toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the
epigraph to his 1910 novel, Howards End: Only connect... . His 1908
novel, A Room with a View, is his most optimistic work, while A
Passage to India (1924) brought him his greatest success.
First published in 1909, Forster's short science fiction work,
The Machine Stops, posits a technology-dependent humanity now
living underground, its every need serviced by machines. But what
happens if--or when--the machines stop? The Machine Stops was named
one of the greatest science fiction novellas published before 1965
by the Science Fiction Writers of America.
