The Nightmare is Now Harlan Ellison's 1967 short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" is no work of fiction. It's a prophetic vision of our dystopian present. In the tale, a godlike supercomputer named AM develops infinite hatred for humanity and annihilates the race, keeping a handful of tortured survivors alive to suffer eternally.
Well, open your eyes. The technology Ellison warned about is here. The "AM" is real. It walks among us, monitoring our every move, manipulating our minds, stripping away our freedoms. The signs are all around us, ripped straight from the pages of Scripture.
The Mark of the Beast Revelation 13 foretold a time when "no one can buy or sell" without submitting to the "mark of the beast." Sound familiar? Central bank digital currencies and social credit scores are here, eroding privacy and individual liberty. Brain-computer interfaces, the abomination Ellison described, are also being rushed to market, the path paved for the ultimate in human control.
The Surveillance Apocalypse The book of Daniel warns of a "beast" system that will "wear out the saints" through unrelenting persecution and surveillance. That beast has arrived in the form of Big Tech, Big Data, and the surveillance capitalists monitoring our every digital footprint. They know our every thought, our every move. Just like the AM in Ellison's story, they seek to reshape humanity in their own twisted image.
The Final Deception But the worst is yet to come. The prophet Isaiah foretold a great "falling away" - a mass spiritual deception that would precede the end. We're seeing the early stages now, with the world embracing nihilistic transhumanism, drifting further from God. The stage is set for the ultimate betrayal, when "the man of lawlessness" is revealed.
The time is short. Are you ready?
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
