Winner of the 2012 Prometheus Hall of Fame Award, The Machine Stops is a dystopic look at a future in which convenience is paramount. Humans spend their days in identical rooms where their every need is provided for by the Machine, but what happens when the Machine stops working? A prophetic dystopic vision warning of the complacency that comes from an over-dependence on technology.
