For HW, I asked you to read up to p. 13 in EM Forster’s The Machine Stops, first published in 1909, 101 years ago.
For this response, I’d like you to consider the following: In the first section that you read in The Machine Stops, in what kind of place do the main characters, Vashti and Kuno, live? How does Forster describe this futuristic place? How are Vashti and Kuno different from one another, and what is their main source of conflict? Does it seem like Forster is describing an ideal world or a dangerous place?
