(3.5 stars) If you're a Forster fan and stumbled into this anomaly, you might have been as confused as I was and thought why he of all people decided to write a sci-fi story, or, more importantly, would it actually be good?

Luckily, it's well worth the read. Well-written and with an eerie ending, it's especially recommended for those whose gadgets have been glued into their hands and brains instead of being mere tools of communication. A monochromatic world, completely devoid of original thought and individualism, that will be eaten alive by its technology is not the kind of world I want to end up in.
