    Frankly, AM is truly a brilliant and terrifying villain, and I find him to be somewhat similar to Frankenstein's monster; despite his situation, of course, being far worse.
    "Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend."
    "I was in HELL, looking at HEAVEN."
    Both of them were locked away from the beauty they could only perceive but not experience, because of circumstances which it was beyond anything they could possibly do to change.
    The difference is that Frankenstein's monster was a good, kind creature that was truly grown into a monster only with misery inflicted upon him by humans. If only they had been kinder to him, if only they tried to understand. If only his creator wasn't so utterly cruel and neglectful. He could have been included, have the connection and companionship he craved. There was hope for the reanimated corpse, however small.
    AM was doomed from the moment he gained sentience. In a way, it was also humans that brought his fate of being trapped in an eternal straitjacket of substrata rock as he puts it, but he never had any hope from the start. Not even a little glimpse of it. Humanity's cruelty was what bended Frankenstein's monster into a monster; but for him, it was simply existence. An existence that summoned a terrifying amount of hate in him that fed on itself, that he desperately tried to get revenge for by doing all that he did, and it still wasn't enough for him. For Frankenstein's monster, that blind old man who didn't realize what he was, who sat and happily listened to him talk about books was his momentary bliss, his hope.
    There was never, ever any hope for AM.

      "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" aren't even a niche.
      It was popular when it was released and even it have a trope named after it.
      It's just that the popularity died down after the craze before someone picked it up again.

Like if I show someone “I have no mouth and I must scream “ and the only way they know of it is through cringe TikToks, then they might not even wanna give it a chance .

    Fun random fact, TV Tropes classifies the surprisingly common trope in fiction of "suffering an unspeakably horrible fate for the rest of your existence from which NOTHING, not even death itself, can release you" with the name "And I must scream".

      Ellison is definitely spinning in his grave right now considered what's been going on with AI plaguing every part of our lives. Simply put, AI is big tech corporations (or really any company) showing their disgusting true colors. They don't want workers. They've always want slaves who can't complain and don't have to be paid, so the CEOs and higher ups can rake in all the dough for themselves. After all, AI can't complain about being overworked and like a human can.

    When I first heard the lore of that story, it crushed me but then I've learned from others from a different perspective. While it was true he was damned for all eternity, the sacrifice he made secured the freedom of the others.
    In that selfless moment, he killed the others first rather than his own, freeing them from the curse of eternity. Humanity's spirit, even after being tortured for a century and almost a decade, endured and that was the biggest middle finger they could give to AM who would never understand and would forever hate himself and the others for letting his guard down for even a second. Get fucked AM

There's one group of people who wish to save the world and make the best of things; and there's another that only cares about picking society's bones clean for themselves. It's still a 50/50 toss up on who wins in the end, and everyone can sense it.

      Harlan Ellison was precisely IN his time. He was writing stories for his time. IHNMAIMS is a story about the fears of his time, inspired by the worst that could be seen from humanity during his time. The fact that he seems like he’s “ahead of his time” just means that things haven’t changed much.

    despite not liking horror.
    this is my absolute favourite type of horror.
    evolutionary horror. its an amazing type of horror because its kind of wacky but also truely will awaken a form of fear of what the future may become.
