Our bonus question regarding a tangentially related story by Harlan Ellison (gotta love Harlan). As many already know, here are the correct answers The paper was entitled "" and written by "". The Ellison story featured an AI computer named "AM" by the title "I have no mouth and I must scream". Sadly, one contestant let the cat of the bag and posed the answers to the user list.
