book review: i have no mouth and i must scream

recently, i decided to delve into the silly world of sci-fi and when looking through things i should read i came across "i have no mouth and i must scream" by harlan ellison.

it is a short story about an AI who went rogue and killed the entire human population aside from 5 people to torture relentlessly.

it's a pretty good book. i adore how you could really feel how much AM hated the five, not just through his words but also through his actions. i love how his motives are understandable, and you can sympathize with him, but then again his actions are irredeemable and are the most evil thing any character in fiction has ever done to humans.

i also love how the book goes into detail about ted's relationship with the other five, especially ellen. it is said that he and ellen have a sexual relationship, but it is possible that he genuinely loved ellen outside of her body. that's why it was all the more sadder when he had to kill ellen and make a big sacrifice, which angered AM to torture him worse than he had been tortured when the others were still alive.

the story is told beautifully, and the wording is excellent. you could really imagine and feel the pain the five were feeling, alongside ted's feelings about the other five (and ellen in particular.) it's a very good way of storytelling, and the plot (and character of AM) is nothing like i have ever seen before. it's very unique, which i LOVE, and the ending being bittersweet always gets to me. i adore bittersweet endings.

i also read the comic adaptation, listened to the audiobook, and listened to the radio drama, though i have yet to play the game. i just want to say that ellison's voice acting for AM is immeasurable! i really love the way he captured AM's rage and hatred for humans, and it just felt all the more real, plus, he sounds like he was having lots of fun anyway. the comic adaptation is beautifully illustrated, though i wasn't a big fan of how they made ted SAY the stuff instead of simply thinking it, but it wasn't an issue since the designs and visuals were just immaculate.

TL;DR it's an excellent book, and i definitely reccommend it. 10/10!

rambles #2

i've been thinking about the future and i hope they explore the ocean more cause we've only explored 10% of it and if we keep it at that number then that means there won't be any development in marine science.... but i shouldn't really hassle myself with that cause i'm not planning to take up marine biology any time soon......

rambles #1

i love my friends, and i'm grateful that i have them, but sometimes i wonder "why do i feel so lonely?

i have so many friends

so why do i feel like i have none?"

and sometimes i wonder if maybe my loneliness is required so that i know my place, so that i don't get ahead of myself and let things get to my head

but sometimes when i'm out with my family and i see kids my age talking i just wonder why, despite the amount of connections i have, do i feel so alone

i'm not blaming my friends at all, i care about them more than i care about myself, but sometimes i feel like someone convenient to talk to. a placeholder for when their real friends arrive.

maybe i just crave a real human connection, cause an "i love you" is nothing compared to being able to talk without it being one-sided or talking knowing the person you're talking to won't respond

i don't believe in fate. but maybe this is an exception, maybe i'm just supposed to be alone
