Generative AI hallucinated an upcoming novel by Percival Everett called The Rainmakers "set in a 'near-future American West where artificially induced rain has become a luxury commodity, following a "precipitation broker" who begins questioning the ethics of his profession.'" I would actually like to read this story. I hope the author decides to write it as a joke.

I just read the short story "Never Eaten Vegetables" by H.H. Pak.

I read “The Book Reader” by Keishi Kajifune, translated by Toshiya Kamei, during my morning commute. It's a short short story. Imagine a world in which people are no longer able to read physical books.

This book was written in the early 1970s, and I’m astounded by the accuracy of the prediction of global warming/climate change.
