The Machine Stops

The Machine Stops "By her side, on the little reading-desk, was a survival from the ages of litter - one book. This was the Book of the Machine. In it were instructions against every possible contingency. If she was hot or cold or dyspeptic or at a loss for a word, she went to the book, and it told her which button to press. The Central Committee published it. In accordance with a growing habit, it was richly bound." "The Machine Stops" has a beautiful glossy cover and a blank page for the dedication. The book has 112 pages.
