Short story on a short trip
1909 的著作。作者描述未來世界人們都住在一個大“機器”的系統裡。所有食衣住行或交際的需求，都可以一鍵滿足
有一天，當機器停止運作了，故事女主角和所有人都一陣惶恐，從來沒有經歷過“機器”停止運轉。認為沒有“機器”人類還能存活嗎？文明還會存在嗎？
當他們逐步走出連結於機器的房間，開始呼吸空氣，面對面看見其他人類時。似乎，存活是可能的。
如果有一天全球網路停止運作時，搞不好就是這個場景啊~🤔
“No one confessed the Machine was out of hand. Year by year it was served with increased efficiency and decreased intelligence. The better a man knew his own duties upon it, the less he understood the duties of his neighbour, and in all the world there was not one who understood the monster as a whole. Those master brains had perished. They had left full directions, it is true, and their successors had each of them mastered a portion of those directions . But Humanity, in its desire for comfort, had over-reached itself. It had exploited the riches of nature too far . Quietly and complacently, it was sinking into decadence, and progress had come to mean the progress of the Machine.”
