About this listen

Experience the chilling dystopian world of E. M. Forster's The Machine Stops, narrated by the captivating voice of Mike Vendetti.

Journey into a future where humanity lives underground, completely reliant on a vast, omnipotent Machine. Follow Vashti and her son Kuno as they grapple with the consequences of their mechanized existence and the terrifying realization that the Machine may be failing.

This thought-provoking tale, first published in 1909, remains eerily relevant today. Don't miss this gripping audiobook that explores themes of technology, isolation, and the human spirit.
