Harlan Ellison was a little dismissive of this short story that you've might only heard of because you saw it on a Steam summer sale, but at the time of its publication (1967) its ideas about the possibility of "evil AI," as well as the possible degeneracy of humanity, were shocking and unexpected, and it set the stage for the wave of sci-fi we'll talk about next season: New Wave!
