About the book
About The machine stops and other stories
"The collection provides a fascinating glimpse into Forster's abiding interest in paganism and mythology, the mysteries of nature and the possibilities of magical transformation. Here too are fantasies of the afterlife ... an ambitious experiment in science-fiction ... [and] a realistic study of self-delusion and compromise."--Jacket.
