The Machine Stops
I see something like you in this plate, but I donโt see you. I hear something like you on this telephone, but I donโt hear you.
I just stumbled on EM Forsterโs The Machine Stops. Published in 1928. Itโs about a distant future in which humanity lives in physically isolated cells, communicating only by video link, controlled by an omniscient global technology platform. This is the opening scene.
