E. M. Forster’s tale of the future sounds frightening today due to its elements of prescience. Individuals live isolated lives below ground where they communicate through video conferencing and their physical and spiritual needs are met by a sinister global Machine. Things start to fall apart when it becomes virtually impossible to visit the surface world and the religion of Technopoly is re-established.
