"“Everything Amazon has promised me, it has fulfilled — and more,” he said. “They ask: ‘Are you happy, Vince? We just want to see you writing books.’ That’s the major difference between corporate-driven Big Five publishers, where the writer is not the most important ingredient in the soup, and Amazon Publishing, which places its writers on a pedestal.” It sounds alluring. This is the siren call of the modern tech colossus, not just Amazon but Google, Apple and Facebook — companies with bottomless pocketbooks and infinite ambitions: We’re building a better world. It will be dedicated to fulfilling all your needs and desires, including the ones you didn’t even know you had. Trust us." • #amazon_longcon - × × ×
