>> Also a nice demonstration of how horror lies in tone rather than content. As /u/CaptainLoggers commented, plenty of scifi has taken the same premise and turned it into adventure rather than horror.
>>
>> Mind, I really liked the statement that the Machine(s) simply *did not care* enough to exterminate humanity. They just built themselves spaceships and *left*, post-haste.

> Reminds me of Dune, which was similarly a post war-against-thinking-machine society with such innovation discouraged religiously.
>> **u/JackStargazer** [+2] *Primordial Apologist* (a day later)
>>
>> The third rule specifically is a reminder of what came out of the Butlerian Jihad: Thou Shalt Not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.
>>
>> Warhammer 40k too, as a result of the war with the Iron Men, has a similar rule.
