Fiasol - Doing fine

Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir

Fíasól is a seven-year-old crab living in Green Grove in Grasby. Well, she is not actually a crab. She is a girl born in the Cancer star sign, and in her opinion that stinks. So she’s decided to adopt a brand new star sign for herself, it’s called the Flowery Butterfly and is a sign made specially for people who don’t want to be Cancerians. 
She lives in Green Grove with her mum and dad, her big sisters Pippa and Bidda, and a couple of poodles, Hansína and Jensína. 
Fíasól’s best friend is called Ingo. He is nine years old and lives in the house diagonally opposite hers. Harold, Herbert and Heba live in the house directly opposite. They are also specially good friends of Fíasól’s. 
“I’ll never have to leave Green Grove,” Fíasól sometimes says. “I’ve got all my friends here, my stuff, my bed, and the food of course.” 
“You’ll need to go to school,” her ten-year-old sister Pippa retorts. 
“Yeah, but then I’ll come straight back home because everything I need is here,” Fíasól replies. 
“What if you need to see the doctor?” Pippa asks. 
“Then I’ll just make a call and get the doctor to come and see me here,” Fíasól says. 
“But what if…” Pippa continues, and so it goes on, the sisters bickering day in and day out. 
“Oh, I have such an amazingly big imagination,” Fíasól sometime says, sounding pleased with herself. She is right of course. 
“You are queen of your very own enormous imagination,” Fíasól’s mum says to her. “But you’ll have to be careful not to let your ideas fly so high that you lose track of them and they come to a sticky end.” 
If you live in a big world of imagination you’re either doing just fine, or you’re in trouble. The thing is, it’s often so difficult to recognise whether an idea is good or bad. Good ideas can get you into trouble and bad ideas can look as if they’re rather good, to start with.

The Machine Stops - When...

E. M. Forster

In The Machine Stops, humanity lives underground in isolated cells, sustained entirely by an immense technological system known simply as the Machine. Every comfort is provided at the touch of a button—food, music, communication, even ideas—while direct human contact and the natural world are considered dangerous relics of the past. 
When Kuno, a restless thinker, begins to question this existence, he challenges not only society’s values but the faith placed in the Machine itself. E. M. Forster’s prophetic tale explores dependency, conformity, and the quiet erosion of humanity beneath convenience, offering a remarkably foresighted vision of a world governed by systems rather than people. 
E. M. Forster is best known for novels such as A Passage to India and Howards End, but his speculative fiction reveals an equally sharp insight into social and philosophical change. Written in 1909, The Machine Stops anticipates modern concerns about technology, isolation, and the loss of human connection with uncanny clarity. 
Forster’s work consistently examines the tension between inner life and external systems, emphasizing empathy, physical presence, and moral responsibility. This story remains one of the most influential early works of classic science fiction, frequently cited for its enduring relevance in the digital age.
