The fate of humanity

Reading Nickleby, I have been stricken with admiration for the enormous talent and sympathetic knowledge of humanity in an author so young.

And then I thought of novels written by machines, by computers, by AIs.

And I thought mankind might die of despair, humiliated by its inferiority to its own creations.

No need for any "rise of the machines" or Cylon wars.
