The Internet in 1908
E.M. Forster's story 'The Machine Stops' (1908) is an anticipatory vision of a technologically driven and globalized society, with uncanny depictions of world-wide machine-mediated communications, alienating technological immersion, and pervasive social networking in an automated environment. The story is interpreted as a projection of Forster's anxieties concerning the growth of industrialism and organization, and the attendant reification of social experience and personal identities.
