> “meeting other people in person” as a tiresome chore. Someone linked the short story The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster the other day where this is an element. A character makes a big deal of having to meet her son in person, opposed of through the machine. Written in the 20s, gets a lot of things uncannily correct for a society 100 years later. Video calling, silence/do not disturb mode, notifications, air conditioning, people no longer wanting to look at real things with their eyes, etc. |
