What software automatically generates a list of all books written by an author?

A properly designed, intelligent spider could do that. By "intelligent," I mean that it has the capability of being trained, so that the first time it comes up with an invalid response, you can fine-tune it to "know" the difference between that and a relevant answer. It’s a gradual process of training and feedback. The reason I suggested a spider is that it can search the web, just as Google’s spiders do, seeking links to relevant information.

As for an existing program, I doubt you’ll find one designed to do exactly what you ask, unless somebody put in all that info ahead of time. And how do you know it’s up to date?

Well, let me rephrase that. There are massive databases like Lexis-Nexis, to which you can subscribe, but I’m not sure that’s what you’re asking.

Actually, such a spider need not even necessarily be all that intelligent if it constrains itself to something like Wikipedia, whose formats are reasonably predictable and whose data are readily updated. The thing is, the most effective way of getting what you want is to learn to program and write it yourself. It’s neither as easy nor as hard as it might look.
