It felt like such a huge layered subject and it made my brain sweat just a little with the ramifications of it all but I would have gladly read a 1000 page novel of this story. ( ) The Plagiarist by Hugh Howey – Adam Griffey teaches literature during the day, but at night he scours the virtual texts from simulated worlds for new books, which he memorizes and brings into his world. He is well paid for his nighttime literature plagiarism. However, when some of the worlds suffer devastation it becomes difficult to distinguish reality from virtual worlds and the people who populate them. This is a very interesting and unique short story that Howey weaves skillfully to a satisfactory conclusion. I liked it very much. no reviews | add a review

Adam Griffey is living two lives. By day, he teaches literature. At night, he steals it. Adam is a plagiarist, an expert reader with an eye for great works. He prowls simulated worlds perusing virtual texts, looking for the next big thing. And when he finds it, he memorizes it page by page, line by line, word for word. And then he brings it back to his world, the real world, and he sells it.But what happens when these virtual worlds begin to seem more real than his own? What happens when the people within them mean more to him than flesh and blood? What happens when a living thing falls in love with someone who does not actually exist?
