THE MACHINE STOPS by E.M. Forster (1909) →
gilmoure:
Anybody who uses the Internet should read E.M. Forster’s The Machine Stops. It is a chilling, short story masterpiece about the role of technology in our lives. Written in 1909, it’s as relevant today as the day it was published. Forster has several prescient notions including instant messages (email!) and cinematophoes (machines that project visual images).

Criminals mock society's laws.
It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you.
Create enough hunger and everyone becomes a criminal.
If someone stands in the way of true justice you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart.
Justice is about more than revenge
I was a coward with a gun.
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to be a villen.
