Beyond the Center
SURPRISE POP-UP EPISODE #24 NOW AVAILABLE!
Every other Sunday we will explore beyond our perceived reality, into the short stories of some of the best authors of classic science fiction and dark fantasy.
Beyond the Center will be taking a break for the next few weeks, so there will be no new episodes during that time. I hope that you will take this opportunity to listen to some of the episodes you may not have had the chance to listen to yet, while narrator Ross Freier focuses on some other voice acting projects he is currently working on.

"The Machine Stops" (Part 2) by E. M. Forster
A prophetic short story involving mankind's subordination to, reliance upon, and worship of, modern technology.
This longer short story is being split up into three parts, with today's part two titled "The Mending Apparatus", from "The Machine Stops", written by E. M. Forster. It was first published in The Oxford and Cambridge Review in November of 1909.
