The last novel ever published, a 600 page tome entitled Autofill that those critics who actually finished reading it unanimously called "a rather tedious story," was published on October 1, 2058.  Written by Neville Whinewright, the book was about a writer coming to terms with the fact that he had nothing to say that anybody wanted to hear.  Whinewright reports that, in writing his novel, he was using a word processor that included the latest algorithm, one that was able to adapt to his writing style.  Not only was it able to predict what form of any given word Whinewright was likely to choose, but it was also able to predict what words Whinewright would use next.  Says Whinewright, "After the first word, it autofilled the entire novel.  If that wasn't bad enough, I couldn't think of how I would've written it any differently.  I thought about writing more, but in the end, what's the point?"
