The eternal moment, and other stories
By E. M. Forster
Length3h 39m
About this audiobook
Unsettling visions of a mechanized future and poignant reflections on lost opportunities permeate this brilliant collection of prophetic fiction. A society completely dependent on a subterranean machine faces existential dread, while a successful author grapples with the devastating realization that she betrayed the one true passion of her youth. The narratives expertly balance science fiction tropes with deep psychological introspection and biting critiques of human complacency. A haunting, visionary anthology that exposes the fragility of the human spirit in an increasingly artificial world.
