THE AUTHOR'S DEATH IS GROSSLY EXAGGERATED

This article in New Scientist predicts the death of sole authorship as digital tech forces writing to become collaborative. Yes, there are experiments in that direction; but I disagree. My comment is below the original article, and also right here:

Letting the readers prioritise story threads? I don't think so. This means collaborating in the first draft - which is usually unreadable. Most writers require at least three drafts (often many more) to produce something worth submitting to their publishers, at which point the editorial process begins. I don't think technology leads to art-by-committee. In the long term, it will bring creative powers back to individuals. When a single person can create CGI movies on a handheld device (or ubiquitous processors in smart buildings) then the novel will truly become something new, different and exciting.
