Calling all book group members. I have a short story I think we should read. It was on the BBC a few weeks ago so one or two of you may have picked it up already. By E, M, Forster it is called "The Machine Stops."You can order it or follow this free online pdf link. The thing is, it was written in 1909 and here we are in lockdown 2020 living in what appears to be that reality.
It is a world where people choose to isolate, live at a social distance and communicate by video calls. Yep sounds familiar. Can we read for Wed 17th?
