I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan EllisonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, by Harlan Ellison, 1967
First published in 1967 and won a Hugo Award in 1968, "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" is a post-apocalyptic science fiction horror story. A mad maniacal supercomputer AI has a hand in being a cruel, relentless, misanthropic god.
The story follows a group of five people, the last survivors of an apocalypse brought on by a sadistic and god-like AI. The survivors are tortured repeatedly in ever-increasing cruel ways over the years while they struggle and look for ways to escape.
Short, diabolically creative, and hopelessly horrific, I rate this story 4.5 out of 5 stars.
