I haven't read it, but I played the game. Harlan Ellison provided the voice for AM.

Holy fuck, what a bleak story. It's probably worth a read.

Mmmmmmmmhhhh!!!!

It's been half a century since I read it, I still have flash backs from it. Reading it will give you PTSD. Especially considering how manipulative and malevolent ai has become. Our current reality arch is leading to this ending.

I used to love that guy's stuff in high school. Now I don't get much out of a re-read.

Great short story.

That story's still a bit disturbing after more than a decade.

I think it’s a short story and not a book, and I think you botched the title, soooo…maybe start with that?

I thought it was stupid and boring. The basic premise doesn’t make sense and it belaboured the point it was trying to make. For the reputation that the story has gathered, it was a disappointment.

For its reputation, the actual story is kind of meh. The point-and-click computer game based on it was pretty good, and has a potentially happier ending (if you do things right). I do think there are segments of the story that are very quotable (mainly just AM), and it’s conceptually interesting.

It was alright. The video game was better IMO. The Amazing Digital Circus is actually based on it.

I haven't read it, but I understand the premise. I realise the person who voices the sentiment in the title literally has no mouth but must scream, but I feel like it could apply figuratively. Like "I have no mouth because the State took my ability to communicate online, and I want to rage about the way things are going, now that they finally affect me, but I have no means to do so." Like it's saying, speak up while you still can. I might be missing some nuance from the story, but again, I haven't read it.

Wikipedia says it's only 6500 words, so it would not take long to read it. The short story the film Predestination is based on is shorter or about the same length. The short story the November Rain video is based on (Without You by... I forget the guy's name...) is about that same length. I can read those in under 10 minutes.
