The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster audiobook.

Genre: scifi

The Machine Stops is a short science fiction story. It describes a world in which almost all humans have lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual lives in isolation in a 'cell', with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Most humans welcome this development, as they are skeptical and fearful of first-hand experience. People forget that humans created the Machine, and treat it as a mystical entity whose needs supersede their own. Those who do not accept the deity of the Machine are viewed as 'unmechanical' and are threatened with 'Homelessness'. Eventually, the Machine apocalyptically collapses, and the civilization of the Machine comes to an end.

Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. by E. Oe. Somerville audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. follows the misadventures of Major Sinclair Yeates, an English ex-army officer who arrives in rural west Ireland to take up a post as a Resident Magistrate - a job that sounds orderly on paper but quickly becomes anything but. Thrown into a world of lively market towns, sprawling estates, and tight-knit communities where everyone seems to know everyone else (and where rules bend under the weight of custom), Yeates must learn how to dispense justice without becoming the butt of the joke. Along the way he is assisted, misled, and occasionally rescued by the formidable local police sergeant, the endlessly resourceful servants and neighbors, and a parade of eccentric characters whose schemes, feuds, and tall tales collide with official procedure. Told in crisp, comic episodes, the book delights in culture clash, social satire, and the gap between legal authority and real authority, while also revealing an affectionate eye for the landscape and the people who animate it. The central tension is Yeates's effort to keep his dignity and do his duty as each case turns into a riotous lesson in how Ireland works.
