Along the lines of my previous sf humor post comes this (via The Alien Online)...

Hot on the heels of The Soddit, a parody based on The Hobbit, sf author Adam Roberts has released a Matrix parody called The McAtrix (not to be confused with the other Matrix parodies: The Mootrix and The Matrix Derided). It seems, as The Telegraph claims, that the parody is making a comeback. Does anyone remember Bored of the Rings?

Who is Adam Roberts, you say? Well, his debut novel, Salt, was published with a audacious blurb explaining it's "set on a world as vividly described as Herbert's Dune". A bold claim indeed. Roberts' next novel is another parody: The Sellamillion, based on Tolkien's The Silmarrilion.
