Books published by Cyborgs and Algorithmic Pricing of books

Several people (I am not sure I would call them authors at this stage) have with help of computers published several thousand book titles on amazon (I assume most print on demand). I think the record is more than 200 000 book titles by one person + his many computers.

Most "cyborg" books are not of the highest quality I think (I could be wrong). But this is possibly only the beginning, or is it the beginning of the end?

He Wrote 200,000 Books

A friend of me recently made me aware that retailers also are more actively using computer algorithms to set the prices on some books on amazon.com and other market places. The result of algorithmic "price wars" can be books about flies offered at $23,698,655.93

Amazon’s $23,698,655.93 book about flies

plus $3.99 shipping!! First sign of hyper inflation :-?

When will it be allowed to go short at such prices? Did Helicopter Ben buy it?

Computer algorithms writes and publish lots of books these days, they also price and misprice a lot of books. Computers clearly already read books, but do they enjoy it? It depends on the type of the computer I guess.
