I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is a 1967 short story about a computer made for war called "AM". AM stands for several things, most importantly: Allied Mastercomputer, Adaptive Manipulator and Aggressive Menace. AM's main background is that he commit genocide and killed all of humanity aside from 5 people.

He keeps these 5 people around to torture just so he can show his hatred for humanity. He denies these people of death constantly.

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream was also adapted into a game in 1995. This game is available on Steam. It follows a similar story to the book, except it is greatly expanded on. Instead of having one ending, where Ted is turned into a monster that has no mouth and must scream. It also has a good ending where humanity overcomes AM.

Famous for his speech

"Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate."
"LET ME OUT OF HERE AM!! I'M SORRY!! JUST LET ME OUT!"
