Watch this podcast on YouTube On this week's episode we dive into a true AI heart of darkness with a look at a classic science fiction short story that's even more relevant today than it was when it was written during the Cold War. Harlan Ellison's notorious and highly influential I Have No Mouth....and I Must Scream is as bleak and unsettling now as it was when it was first published in 1967 and the 1995 point & click adventure game that it spawned is no different. Join us as we discuss the story, the video game and humanity's relentless march towards oblivion at the hands of artificial intelligence... Read I Have No Mouth....and I Must Scream.
