Songs About Games, Games People Play

So I'll start with this one as sort of a "blanket" title - - -

Computer - Reign (Game Over)  -  Ayreon

 

This song was written in 1995. It is about computers replacing people. The composer is a fan of science fiction. Fast forward to 2023, and the news about current AI programs creating almost anything you can think of, More science than fiction now. Pretty eeeeerie stuff.😰
