The angry red planet

The Machine Stops was probably the first science fiction story I ever read. I must have been 10 or 11 and I was sat in an aunt’s front room, rather bored. I picked up a Reader’s Digest compilation and this was the first story. I didn’t move for couple of hours. The story was written by E. M. Forster; it was first published back in 1909 when airships, telegraphy and telephony were state of the art (i.e. before mass radio broadcasting and television).
He described a world where people live a sedentary and solitary life, communicating with others almost entirely through The Machine; which also caters for their needs: food, water and energy is delivered to them. People don’t need to leave their homes, so they rarely do. They live to share ideas and opinions, which are usually rather shallow because they are not rooted in real experiences or deep learning. Does this sound familiar? Anyway, I think you can tell from the title that this comfortable state of affairs does not last…

The Machine Stops

Yet another instrumental inspired by a road trip. 
Can I fit another road trip in before the summer is gone?

All the guitar parts were played on my American Telecaster with Texas pickups... I aways seem to reach for this guitar when road trips are on my mind.

Open Road

Inorganic Beings by Per Bronco Karlsson. The lyrics are a few quotes from Carlos Castaneda´s novel The Active Side of Infinity.
