mousmoulo's review against another edition

not rating this bc i have a feeling my edition was not complete

it was good though! the ending was very disturbing even though it was very clearly foreshadowed, and i really liked the concept overall. i can't decide if focusing a little more on the characters' relationships would have made it more impactful or not, but overall i'm glad i finally got around to reading it even if i can't say it was an enjoyable experience LOL

This is just as good as everyone says it is. As a group of humans are kept alive by the sentient robot that destroyed the world, they're tortured by endless life, lack of sunlight, and AM themself. It's a horrifying take on technology and human nature but it's necessary and a fun short read. Also Harlan Ellisons voice is worth a listen anyways!

TikTok convinced me to read it and I was not disappointed. A terrifyingly good short story about AI and a future that is not as dystopian as it might have been back when this was published.
