U.S. writers, beware. If the robotic competition doesn’t impoverish you, maybe outsourcing will.

That’s an exaggeration, but in the future, yes, I think we’ll see robotically written e-books—a variant on the novel-writing machines in 1984.

Of course, some critics of mass culture would argue that robots have long dominated the best-seller lists.
