I have no mouth and I must scream

Any science fiction fans who remember “I have no mouth and I must scream” by Harlan Ellison?

( He wrote the classic Star Trek episode The City on the Edge of Forever)

He really did predict AI and machines becoming self-aware and killing us all back in 1967!

The three world powers create machines to fight their wars, one destroys the other two and becomes self aware, destroying mankind. It keeps four alive to torture and torment out of hatred for it’s creators

It’s a good and sinister read, weirdly prophetic for something written over 50 years ago
