Calming Modern Readers by Erasing the Terrible Past
An excellent article by Den of Geek addresses the new trend of rewriting the works of dead authors to suit the current political climate. Ian Fleming Publications Ltd., owners of the literary rights to the James Bond books, are currently “sanitizing” the works of author Ian Fleming to address concerns that many references are outdated, offensive, and unpalatable for modern audiences.
So they sooth modern sensitivities by changing a fictional narrative that is representative of a historic time and effectively altering and erasing the past? 1984 anyone? (If they haven’t sanitized that book, yet!)

Countdown to First Plagiarism Lawsuit Against ChatGPT-Assisted Author
FirstPost reports on the current trend of some “authors” (rumored “talent-free hacks”) using ChatGPT software to perform all aspects of writing and publishing eBooks.
It’s our feeling here at eBook Rumors that this flash-in-the pan will end with a monumental plagiarism/copyright-infringement lawsuit when some version of this brand-new but entirely “trusted” software gets caught stealing dialogue or description from a previously published “human” work.
(What’s Editing the Editors that are coding the Authors?)
I wouldn’t want to be the ape-descendant with his/her name on that book.
