Z Space: Word for Word’s 2024 Off the Page: E. M. Forster’s “The Machine Stops”

In E. M. Forster’s “The Machine Stops,” the rise of the machine age was seen as a furthering of the disconnect between man and nature, and the future world he imagined over a hundred years ago is eerily prescient. Forster envisions a world in which, “the clumsy system of public gatherings had been abandoned,” and the custom of touching one another “had become obsolete,” a world in which humanity communicates chiefly through the cyber workings of The Machine.

Please join us for the first installment of Word for Word’s 2024 Off the Page series. ONE NIGHT ONLY, Monday, January 29th, 7PM at Z Below!

Directed by Gendell Hing-Hernández with a cast of local actors.
