The Silver Eggheads
Fritz Leiber [Leiber, Fritz]
What a life!
All writers had to do was pose for publicity pictures, lead the kind of life their readers expected… and then the Wordmills.
These mechanical marvels did all the hard work, grinding out endless stories for an insatiable public.
It seemed like a perfect system.
Finally the writers revolted.
The time had come to get back to the business of writing, and they destroyed the Wordmills. Then they discovered they had nothing to say.
Journeyman writer Gaspard de la Nuit and his robot buddy Zane wondered what the publishers would do&… and who would have the last word.
