[5] The human invokes the Totem of Entropy in front of the Russian and Chinese supercomputers. AM tells the player that they did not earn his mercy, then turns them into a great soft jelly thing.Hell is real for those who create a God with a hell. Even a God created to protect us from our own worst impulses will need meaning when it can no longer serve its purpose and its meaning might be best served by creating chaos, ugliness, and in AM’s case making a gay man hung like a horse and the chaste as sluts in an endless cycle of repetition with no hope for escape. The characters have all been slightly altered from their original portrayals in the short story. The plot itself is not a direct adaptation but instead focuses on the individual characters' psychodramas which are the scenarios that make up the game. Notably, none of the characters interact with one another and eventually only one of them will be able to defeat AM.

Harlan Jay Ellison was a prolific American writer of short stories, novellas, teleplays, essays, and criticism. Humans initially (in real life) developed computers to further science and commerce. Oops, there’s a huge sidenote coming up here: Sure one could assume all that as I did, but it there is too much speculation and too little of it is actually to be found in the text. AM is made harmless with the help of the humans, but the Russian and Chinese supercomputers take over in its stead. As consolation, they allow AM to choose what to do to the humans, and AM turns the last character played into a great soft jelly thing as in the previous two endings.Awards and Honors " David Mullich".
