The Machine Stops (Again)

E.M. Forster's 1909 story "The Machine Stops" (which I first read in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume 2) is widely regarding as on the classics of sf. An adaptation of the story was shown on UK television in 1966 as part of the sci-fi anthology TV series Out of the Unknown. (Here is that episode.)

Now, the Freise Brothers have directed an updated version of the story. Check this out:

You know what's weird, that's the second time that "The Machine Stops" has come up in the course of my day so far. Two independent places, here and somewhere else. How odd.
