The Machine Stops from Reel 13 on Vimeo.

Here is an adaptation of the classic science fiction short story “The Machine Stops” by E.M. Forster, which was first published in 1909 and has since served as an inspiration for some of the best stories the genre has offered. You can read the story online at the personal website of Paul Rajlich.
