Edward Morgan Forster (1879-1970) English Novelist, Short Story writer, Librettist & Essayist. Much of his work centred on the hypocrisy of the class structure of the times although are written off as 'period romances' by many. Although less well known, his short stories include the unbelievably pertinent and visionary science fiction novella  'The Machine stops' written in 1909.

Ive got a feeling ive already suggested E M Forster in a previous 'F' situation... but.. oh well, apologies..
