reemiii_93 's review for:
I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
by Harlan Ellison
I listened to this in just 52 minutes (audiobook), but I swear it felt like being trapped in a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.
Written in the 60s (!!), yet somehow it hits even harder today, with all our fears of AI, war, and what it means to be human in a world ruled by machines.
The story follows the last five survivors of humanity, trapped inside a post-apocalyptic hell run by a supercomputer called AM. It hates them. It tortures them. And worst of all, it keeps them alive.
No escape. No death. Just endless psychological and physical torment. AM is like if every terrifying part of technology, ego, and god-complex merged into one cold, monstrous being.
The writing is raw, chaotic, and sometimes deeply disturbing. You won’t find peace here. But that’s the point.
I had to pause more than once just to process.
The ending? Bleak, poetic, unforgettable.
Definitely not for everyone,it's dark, heavy, and brutal. But if you're into thought-provoking sci-fi horror that messes with your head... this is a classic worth facing.
ملاحظة: القصة سوداوية جدًا، فيها عناصر تعذيب نفسي وعنف. مناسبة لمحبي الخيال العلمي المظلم فقط.
