1909 - The Machine Stops

I had never heard of this writing (although it, in some ways, reminds me of 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World, etc) until I read this article from Taki.  The article starts off quite a bit differently than it ends, I must say!  It's very interesting reading though, and I suggest to all of you to read the stuff at both links below.

Here's the best link I could find to describe the "novella" but it can be ordered from many places online, as well as n ebook, a pdf, etc.

the support of Paul.
