5.0 out of 5 stars scarily acurate!, 15 Feb 2009
By Ms. L. M. Thatcher "Lucyloo" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this author, having read Maurice some time ago I developed a great respect for Forster's insightful writing. This book was mentioned by a tutor at university, just in passing, talking about children and the "digital revolution" so I thought i'd give it a try. It's not very long, more of a long short story, and it's not very cheerful either, but considering the time when it was written, it's a very accurate portrayal of our dependence on modern technology and alienation from nature.
Bit of a doom mongers field day, but still a good read.
