The Machine has robbed us of our sense of space and touch, it has blurred all human connection, it has paralyzed our bodies and our wills, and now it forces us to worship it. The Machine develops—but not according to our plans. The Machine acts—but not according to our goals. We are nothing more than blood cells circulating in its arteries.
Published in… 1909, this astonishing anticipation written by the great British author EM Forster (1871-1970) depicts a society in which all needs are satisfied by an omnipotent machine. In their desire for total comfort, their obsession with maintaining their distance from others and the physical world, and after having exploited the riches of nature, humans therefore rely solely on technology, which has become their idol.
