I just overheard that Big Bird is writing a book about the travails of richy-rich debutantes. I’ve never written a book of fiction so I’m not in any real position to cast criticism, but that sounds like a pretty terrible premise. Where are the ninjas and the pirates and the evil doomsday-machines? I’m sure a story about spoiled kids drinking booze and buying Ferraris has potential, but if Big Bird really wants to take this thing seriously he should consider adding in some robots. A recent poll in Newsweek said that books with robots were 100% better than books without robots.* – Shaan
*Note: I didn’t bother to actually check Newsweek so this poll may or may not exist. I just assumed it did because it makes so much sense. Robots are awesome.
