mitchellloll 's review for:

I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison

---

I need to think about this for a bit before rating it. It’s tame by modern standards but I can see how this must have been insane in the 1960’s. 20 page read and I can see why this became so influential in works of sci-fi and body horror, the premise is pretty terrifying. I do think “I have no mouth and I must scream” is one of the most unsettling sentences I’ve ever read. Is this the first story about artificial intelligence killing us all?
