       | It's really interesting how once you sort of clear out the works
       | we are now familiar with from an era, you find stuff that's also
       | highly interesting but often too weird to survive.
       | 
       | I recently read "The Purple Cloud," one of the early apocalyptic
       | novels, and while it was interesting I certainly see why it isn't
       | widely read. Similarly "The Night Land," earthshaking in its
       | originality but practically unreadable.
       | 
       | The best among them is probably "The Machine Stops," which is
       | well written, succinct, highly prescient, and seems to only
       | recently have re-entered the zeitgeist somewhat.
