Philip Parker, a professor of management science, feels he's got
licked the whole problem of writing books, namely, that there's all this
pesky writing that gets in the way of fini****ng them:

The gimmick is that he has a set of algorithms which search for
all the publicly available information on a subject, gather it, collate
it in some fa****on, and then put it up for sale on demand. The
International Herald Tribune credits him with over 200,000 books thus
for sale on Amazon.com, including such titles, impossible for mere humans
to write, as _The 2007-2012 Outlook for Tufted Washable Scatter Rugs,
Bathmats, and Sets That measure 6-Feet By 9-Feet Or Smaller In India_
(priced to move at $495 for the 144 pages).
He's also got it working on acrostic poems and on computer-
generated scripts for YouTube videos intended to teach English to
non-English speakers.
