    Octavia Butler blocked reprints of her ‘lost’ novel. More than 40 years later, it’s back on shelves

    1. I’m not sure the rationale that “AI has read all of Butler’s works, why shouldn’t we?” holds much sway.

    2. stuffitystuff on

      Blame should be put on Butler’s heirs, not the publishing company here. It’s not like they can just reprint it without their consent.

      Anyhow, hope they don’t do this with *Fast Times at Ridgemont High*. Having that book be bootlegs-only (if you don’t want to pay $300 for a real copy of the paperback) is way too cool. Plus, Crowe is still alive so it’ll be awhile.
