ChatGTP says, "The book you are referring to is likely "The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster. This novella was published in 1909 and is set in a future where people live in individual rooms, connected to a global network that provides them with all their needs. The machines that run the network have become so efficient that people no longer need to learn or do anything for themselves. As a result, they have become isolated, shallow, and dependent on the network. When the network starts to break down, the characters are unable to cope and must face the consequences of their reliance on the machines."
