Just read I have no mouth and I must scream, looking for other very desperate stories

[BojackHorseman]

I've just read I have no mouth and I must scream (for those interested, it's a dozen pages and can be found online), and I've noticed this pattern of me having a strong attraction but also being terrified in my guts (and I'm having a very hard time feeling fear for stories in general).

There are a few other cases like this. One is the scene in the first Matrix movie, where Neo wakes up plugged in and see this dizzying, endless chain off people, and specially how everything you can see is just total dark and cold
There also was that one episode in Love death robots, Beyond the aquila rift, where SPOILERS

He wakes up in this desolated alien landscape where he endlessly revives horror (another element that triggers my strong fear feelings) END OF SPOILERS

 

I'm not someone that can make analysis easily, therefore I just figured I had to look for more stories like that to figure out patterns and why it seemed so strong to me.

It's weird to say, but in those cases and an few others, I feel like I fear those situations so much because they're..."real"? Like they will happend at some point?

I also fear, as much as I am attracted to it, the concept of very far futures (like, more than just a few hundred years). Where things could be sooo different.

Not sure what to make of all of this haha. But if you have movie/books/comics/games/whatever recommandations, shoot.

Blade runner is a good movie about robots fighting humans. 

Antman is a science fiction movie about a man who became the size of an ant and he helps saved the world.

^ Not futuristic films but contain very desperate stories imo

Black Mirror has some interesting episodes where they torture people for basically infinity by digitizing their consciousness, trapping them for insanely long periods of time/infinity. The episodes were "White Bear," "Be Right Back," "The Entire History of You," and "White Christmas." I think there were also some other ones
