The Machine Stops is eerily prescient - or perhaps just keenly observant of trends visible even at the time - but in fairness the humans in it are not socially isolated, as such; they do not converse with bots, but rather with each other. The primary social activity in the The Machine Stops is the Zoom meeting.

I do not look forward to the day when that story becomes an optimistic view of the future.
