Art Review: I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

109 years after the end of World War III, The super computer "AM". Has killed off all of humanity, leaving only 5 strangers alive to torture for his own pleasure. Harlan Ellison's "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" is short but memorable story that plays heavily on morality and the human psyche. The story is told from the point of view from one of the unlucky survivors Ted, arguably the "sanest" of the group as the others have either lost sight of what they were or in the case of another character Benny, has lost all of his past self and his humanity after being turned into a beast of horrors. The story does a great job of putting you in the place of Ted as he experiences the grotesque events unfold.

Its hard to explain more without giving away most of the good parts. But the short story is a definite good read if your looking for something different and interesting.
