There is an upfront cost to producing a book, of course there is. However, once produced, there is effectively zero cost in reproduction. That makes the fruit of your labour economically worthless. If food, or energy, or anything else were infinitely reproduceable at zero cost, they would be economically worthless too.

Once the upfront cost of replacing me with software is low enough, I will no longer expect to be paid for doing the work I do; my skillset will have been supplanted by automation.
