The characters actions seemed relatively applicable to anyone else in the story so diversity in characteristics is very sparse. I did feel as though the story was a bit bland somewhat and could have been done quite a bit better. The weaknesses of each of the members are exploited and abused forcing them to relive their nightmares in many different forms. One was a rape victim, another was a gay scientist who was forced to be straight and be hypersexual, another being a Nazi who is regretful of his actions, one regretting his actions he has done to his wife, and finally our narrator who isn’t explicitly described in any sort of way. Abusing five separate different people based on each of their weaknesses. It can force people to do things they don’t want to do, and through this can truly make people suffer. The abnormal part about AM is that AM has seemingly unnatural powers. The only thing it knows how to do is make others suffer. Out of this anger, happiness cannot be achieved. Trapping it inside a computer known only for vengeance and anger. AM hated humanity due to simply creating it. Traversing throughout the disaster of the area we now call “world” that was destroyed by a supercomputer AI that was trained for war who went overboard and wiped the entire existence of our world. The story itself is relatively short sitting at about 12 pages on a typical pdf. Later produced into a point and click adventure game for the PC. This is the base story of “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” by Harlan Ellison. Trapped in the post-apocalyptic world, 5 people are wandering around the world hoping to find a solution to escape the living hell they have been living in for 109 years.
