About this book
This collection of supernatural, fantasy, and sci-fi stories from the Nobel Prize–nominated author "presents a new side of a distinguished writer" ( The New York Times ). Novelist, essayist, and acclaimed author of A Room with a View and A Passage to India, E.M. Forster explores themes of the human spirit, social isolation, and technology in this unique book of short fiction. Written between 1903 and 1914, notable works included are the dystopian "The Machine Stops" as well as "The Point of It, " "Mr. Andrews, " "Coordination, " and "The Story of the Siren." All are profound and prescient narratives revealing a futuristic world that will look remarkably and eerily familiar to modern readers. "E.M. Forster is for me the only living novelist who can be read again and again and who, after each reading, gives me what few writers can give us after our first days of novel-reading, the sensation of having learned something." —Lionel Trilling
