The New York Times has an interview with a man who’s programmed computers to pull information about subjects—from Rosacea to bathmats in India—and publish them online. He’s now compiled some 200,000 books, which he claims makes him “the most published author in the history of the planet.” He might even be branching into fiction:
And he is laying the groundwork for romance novels generated by new algorithms. “I’ve already set it up,” he said. “There are only so many body parts.”

Sigh. Monkeys, typewriters, Shakespeare. Man, computer algorithm, compelling fiction.
