Yes, it's a famous one! I got to it thanks to one of many collections I've read recently. Does live to the hype methinks. Thank you Alexandra!
Uhhh... "No tengo boca y debo gritar" 😃😃😃
What language is this?😃
Wonderful review, Federico! Hope your next read is much better!!
Seeing as AI is all the rage right now, this seems like a great light horror snack. Good review, Federico.

I think it's Spanish but not sure I'm very unfamiliar with it xD. Thank you Saranya!

Maybe this could be our future someday, who knows :x. Thank you Thibault!
Sounds like Ellison really packed a punch into those sixteen pages. An intriguing review, Federico. Considering your three stars, a 'silver' ending does sound appropriate.🥈

Gotta love a good shortie <3 ! Many people enjoyed it much more than I did I think :p. Thank you Darla!

It's a quite famous horror short! Maybe even deservedly so ;). Thank you Jayme!
Sounds like it did a decent job for the page count. Great review, Federico. :) I hope the next book you read by this author is better.

Another short story collection, but we'll see. Soon enough I hope :p. Thank you Srivalli!
Great review, Federico, or rather a tasty one that I'm happy your first read with the author was a good one. 😊

Actually I believe this was my second, If I'm not mistaken I think I read 'The Whimper of Whipped Dogs' first, on another collection :p. Thank you Amina <3 !
Yo siempre soy muy respetuosa con Gemini. Nunca se sabe...
¿Cómo anda Fede? Muy linda reseña. Leí esta historia hace mucho y aún la recuerdo con claridad.
Un abrazo y mis deseos de una linda semana.

Indeed, with AI you never know now, so it was very entertaining, and relevant lol. Thank you Jennifer!
I love finding good short stories; they’re rare to come across but it’s always worth it when you find a good one. Sounds like a decent read, might have to check it out sometime. Good review :)
At 16 pages, it’s definitely a quick snack! You’re always introducing me to authors I’ve never heard of, and I love that. Another wonderful review, Fede! 🫶🏻

I've found many over time. I have them all in my Best Short Stories shelf. Which should include this one, but for some reason I didn't (?). Thank you Nick! And hope you enjoy it too someday :)
Though AI has made me a ton of money it really does scare the hell out of me. Still maintain that within as little as a decade most of us will be saying how did we allow this to happen. Money is nothing really in comparison to what may be AI's outcome :)

I also never heard of him until last year, when I found one of his short stories in one of my many short story collections lol :p. Thank you Nancy!

That's how it starts. Skynet was efficiently friendly once :p. Thank you Luna!
Good to see that this snack turned out to be delectable! 'Really good for what it is' is also good enough; not every story can be a favourite. 😊 Wonderful review, Feddie! 🤍
Since it's a short story I think I can handle it even though you describe it as a horror shortie. Always on the look out for a good short story or novella.
Thank you for your recommendation.
AI makes for some deep thinking as well as incredible discussions.
My virtual book club in fact will be reading Culpability by Bruce Holsinger for our early December read. I saw him interviewed by Oprah Winfrey on YouTube and thought it would make for an incredible discussion. It evidently is how AI effected an entire family. It sounds so compelling.

My Best Short Stories shelf have the very best I could find! AI may have been futuristic back when this was written but so plausible nowadays. It's amazing O.o. Hope you enjoy it and thank you for the rec Cheryl!

Good it was, all in all. Thank you JJ :D !
I love this description: "not wow; but it’s good, really good, for what it is" because it's so real. Seems like our real world is probably closer to this book than it ever was 🫣 Great review Fede! 🤖
Love how you called it a “tasty horror snack” - perfect description! It’s short, unsettling, and weirdly memorable. Ellison knew how to twist the knife.
horror with a bit of romance? sounds like my cup of tea. its not all the time a 16 pages book can be compelling.
