UR by Stephen King 90 pages

Another fun look through the eyes of Stephen King, ie. what is he seeing now?  In which he comes up with a novella about a college instructor who teaches English and in that inimitable way King layers the character with attributes his readers can relate to, the guy has just gone through an emotional break-up, he is getting caught up in technology to distract himself, gets talked into ordering a kindle from amazon because his crazy ex-girlfriends hassles him with a biting remark about why he can't be like the rest of the world and read off a computer rather that actual tangible books?  It sticks.  He tries it.  The outcome of this dip into the new AI world for him is when accessing an app called UR he comes across the usual suspects in the literary world, Hemingway, Twain, Fitzgerald and thousands more, but, he also turns up obscure titles under each of the literary greats that he has never heard of before not only that, they prove to have been written long after the greats deaths.   He finds a whole new universe of accessible titles that he cannot fathom.   He brings in a close colleague and a trusted student to find out if he is missing something or being duped or has he somehow logged into a new dimension of unmitigated bibliophilia nirvana?    A fun ride as only Stephen King can bring twisting the multi-dimensional with reality then back again to the far side.   I recommend this one to young adults on up, I think younger audiences would not find it as interesting as older folks dipping into a tool they aren't quite as savvy at as the younger set.
