Everyone in the future lives alone in a small underground room and talks to others through a screen. The Machine provides food, music and company, and everyone has stopped thinking of it as something people made. Vashti is content. Her son Kuno wants to visit the surface of the Earth, and he is sure something is wrong. E. M. Forster's 1909 science fiction story, uncannily close to modern life, read by Mike Polischuk. For readers of Brave New World and 1984.
