The Machine Stops – Web Journalist Blog https://blog.webjournalist.org Tech. Culture. Journalism. Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:24:17 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.13 E.M. Forster’s The Machine Stops ‘read’ by SoundGecko https://blog.webjournalist.org/2013/01/03/e-m-forsters-the-machine-stops-read-by-soundgecko/ Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:23:58 +0000 http://blog.webjournalist.org/?p=2266 This is perhaps the most meta thing I’ve ever done. I uploaded The Machine Stops, the powerful 1909 essay by E.M. Forster, to SoundGecko, a Web service that converts any text into an MP3, Siri reading.

NOTE: I first read this essay on my iPad and did not miss the irony. So, bonus points of you are listening to this ‘audio reading’ on your mobile device.
