This is a story set in a post-apocalyptic future. The Cold War progressed until it was too complicated for humans to manage, so the three major superpowers each developed a computer program to help run the war. When one of the programs becomes sentient it eliminates all of the human race except five persons, which it tortures for eternity.

Inventive and disturbing with a deep range, uncomfortable violent male gaze in most of these stories while critical of the same, only the title story felt classic.
