The most published author in the world

Philip M. Parker has written a lot of books .. 200,000 of them. However it may not be accurate to call him an author, as he is more of a compiler. Having developed computer algorithms that collect publicly available information on a subject and aided by 60 to 70 computers plus 6-7 programmers, Parker turns the results into a book. These books are print-on-demand, so only when a customer orders them are they printed. And yet, these books are retailed on Amazon.com

Now Parker is laying the groundwork for a romantic novel, again using his trusted scribes i.e. computer algorithms. Read the entire article (here). Or if you care to watch the video (here).
