''Anywhere But Here, With Anyone But You ''. Here then are a few more examples from a by-no-means all-inclusive list that move along the lines of ''I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream'' which I feel are worthy of consideration beyond this work. Ellison wanted to shove mans variations of inhumanity, carelessness, or stupidity one towards another into our faces and leave us with bloody noses, an effect that brought both critical praise and condemnation from critics aimed at a man who became more angry as the years went by. ![]() We see this instantly in ''I Have No Mouth.'', which even in its truncated adaptation to videogame format, remains after the passage of decades, a still unsettling examination of human weaknesses prompting, as many of Ellisons works of the 1960s-1970s usually did, self-examination on the portion of the reader. The means by which humans simply side-slip from their own lives suddenly into the dimensions controlled by these beings is itself jarring. Ellison was his generations Lovecraft, especially with his earlier writings, where humans were faced with the consequences of their own avarice, cruelty, simple thoughtlessness or worse, by sheer accident, with the presence of supernatural beings in god/demi-god form who create their own form of deliberate or seemingly mindless justice which yet has a dark reason underlying their actions.
