  X Marks the Pedwalk by Fritz Leiber - This is how it all began—the terrible civil strife that devastates our world! 
  The raggedy little old lady with the big shopping bag was in the exact center of the crosswalk when she became aware of the big black car bearing down on her. 
  Behind the thick bullet-proof glass its seven occupants had a misty look, like men in a diving bell. 
  She saw there was no longer time to beat the car to either curb. Veering remorselessly, it would catch her in the gutter. 
  Useless to attempt a feint and double-back, such as any venturesome child executed a dozen times a day. Her reflexes were too slow. 
  Polite vacuous laughter came from the car's loudspeaker over the engine's mounting roar. 
  From her fellow pedestrians lining the curbs came a sigh of horror. 
  The little old lady dipped into her shopping bag and came up with a big blue-black automatic. She held it in both fists, riding the recoils like a rodeo cowboy on a bucking bronco. 
  Aiming at the base of the windshield, just as a big-game hunter aims at the vulnerable spine of a charging water buffalo over the horny armor of its lowered head, the little old lady squeezed off three shots...

  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.
