I've read this a dozen times over the years. Wow! He has a unique insight into humanity, the future & an extremely imaginative way of putting them together. This is a classic! ( )

Busqué este cuento porque existe un gran videogame basado en el mismo. Lo conseguí en digital y me lo devoré en un rato. Es oscuro, terriblemente oscuro, depresivo y desesperante, pero está escrito con maestría. Luego de leerlo terminé con un sabor amargo similar al que tuve durante meses con 1984 ( )

The other tales in the collection pale in comparison when held up alongside the title story. This is one for the ages--Ellison has forged an original, literate offering that stands with the finest short fiction of the 20th century. ( )

I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream was the first science fiction short story I'd ever read; it was terrifying and I couldn't put it down. It remains my benchmark against which all other horror / scifi stories are compared. ( )

The title story is one of the finest, and most horrifying, science fiction stories ever. And the others are little gems also; I doubt that Ellison has written a boring phrase in his life. He sure is an ass, though. ( )

One in a long series of out-of-print Harlan Ellison collections, this contains not only some of his best stories (in particular the title piece, a disturbing work of existentialist horror) but one of the best titles in science fiction. Ellison is always a little hit-and-miss in these collections, particularly when he starts to move away from science fiction territory into standard fiction (when the stories start sounding like "Twilight Zone" rejects). But a few powerful stories carrying the thing through, putting this up with the must reads for sci-fi freaks.
