Authors continuing their creative careers in a hereafter? See:
Highly improbable. However, might something else happen? Might an AI program be able to reproduce Poul Anderson's literary style and thus to create entire new collections or novels about:
the Chaos
the Grand Surveys
the Breakup
young van Rijn
Jim Ching
Juan Hernandez
Emil Dalmady
the second trader team that Chee Lan joined
Manuel Argos
Tachwyr
Aycharaych
Diana Crowfeather and Targovi
the Long Night
Roan Tom
the Allied Planets
Daven Laure of the Commonalty
the Time Patrol
the Old Phoenix
etc?
If this could be done, then it might be regarded as an artificial but nevertheless authentic extension of the original author's creativity whereas a second human author writing sequels unavoidably contributes his own creativity.
I do not know whether this is possible. One thing is certain - that readers would be deeply divided as to its desirability.
