I think you can actually find this theme in most of Forster's work - my memory may be imperfect though - I haven't read Forster in 13-14 years, and I wasn't nearly as good at English (nor good at interpreting texts) then as I am now. I've gotten all excited about Forster again, after reading 'The machine stops'. I suddenly understand a lot more.
