I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream

The brilliant and scarily relevant short story by Harlan Ellison, an eight-time Hugo Award winner, five-time Bram Stoker Award winner, and four-time Nebula Award winner

In a postapocalyptic world, four men and one woman are all that remain of the human race, brought to near extinction by an artificial intelligence named A.M. Programmed to wage war on behalf of its creators, the AI has become self-aware and has now turned against all humanity. The five survivors struggle for survival in a vast prison created by A.M. in a deeply personal war between hope and despair.

This edition of this defining story also features a new foreword; exclusive photos and essays by Harlan exploring the story's history and international success; and a response to the story by an entity that--possibly--is most analogous to A.M. itself.
