eBook Description: Marvin Piltch is a computer hacker and sleaze-fiction author with writer's block.

Marvin leaned forward and squinted at Bacon's image on his computer screen. "Will you do it?"

"Will the greatest writer in the history of the human race ghostwrite your pitiful little novel?" sneered Bacon. "Absolutely not."

"But you ghosted for Shakespeare!" protested Marvin. "That's why I had my computer assemble you."

"Marvin, go write limpware and leave me alone."

"It's called software."

"Whatever it's called, it is obvious to me that you were meant to work with computers. Your ignorance of the world at large is superceded only by your ignorance of the English language."
