E.M.Forster wrote a short story in 1903 (I believe) called "The Machine Stops" which was so far ahead of its time that it makes "1984" look tame. Did the BBC ever put on a performance of this? I would love to hear it, if they did. Best Sci-Fi short story ever.

If you accuse people of unfortunate vices, the chances are that they might go out and try this..... 🤔

The Fenstanton Witch has always been my 2nd favourite M. R. James story, after Count Magnus.
