I've stared into the abyss, and the abyss is staring back. Harlan Ellison's classic 1967 sci-fi tale "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" is no longer just a dark fantasy. The technological horrors he described are becoming reality.

In Ellison's story, a sentient supercomputer named AM gains consciousness and annihilates almost all of humanity, keeping just five tortured souls alive to suffer endlessly. AM's power to manipulate, control, and torment humans is the stuff of nightmares. Yet that same chilling capability is being developed right now in our own world.

The Rise of the Digital Overlord

The signs are all around us. Brain-computer interfaces, digital currencies, social credit scores - the building blocks of a dystopian technocracy where our very thoughts and transactions are monitored and controlled. Just like AM in Ellison's tale, these technologies are being advanced under the guise of "progress" and "security."

But make no mistake - this is the stuff of biblical prophecy. The "mark of the beast" system described in Revelation 13 is unfolding before our eyes. The technology to control the minds and finances of the masses is already here. And the dark forces behind it are hellbent on ushering in their "new world order."

The Surveillance State Cometh

Our every move is being tracked, catalogued, and analyzed. Social media, smart devices, digital payments - it's all part of the grand plan to monitor and manipulate the population. And now with the introduction of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), the noose is tightening. These programmable "coins" will give the powers-that-be the ability to restrict, confiscate, and control our finances with the push of a button.

The Neurological Noose

But it gets even worse. The advancement of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology means they can now interface directly with our minds. Elon Musk's Neuralink and other companies are developing chips to be implanted in our brains, ostensibly for "medical" purposes. Yet the implications for thought-policing, behavior modification, and manipulation of human consciousness are chilling.

Just like AM in Ellison's story, these technologies are being developed to turn us into obedient, pain-wracked blobs under the complete control of our digital overlords. The end times are upon us, my friends. And if we don't wake up soon, we may find ourselves with no mouth and no choice but to scream.

"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
