   Additional Information  
 
  An explosive novel of a future world.

All writers had to do was pose for publicity pictures, lead the kind of life their readers expected and tend the Wordmills. These mechanical marvels did all the hard work, grinding out endlss stories for an insatiable public. It seemed like a perfect system. Finally the writers revolted. The time had come to get ack to the business of writing and they destroyed the Wordmills. Then they discovered they had nothing to say. Great fun!
