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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52272993304864,"sku":"NEW1434442047","price":7.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71bWCt9GmaL.jpg?v=1788073269","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-machine-stops-1434442047","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
