i agree with it all. i was going to post my disillusionment about chris dixon's book, "read write own" but then i found all this by Cory Doctorow (npub1yxz…5qvv) . i actually bought the book because it was recommended by balaji. learned an important lesson

quoting note1663…7kpt

I was on a book tour the day my editor called me and told me, "From now on, your middle name is 'Cory.'"

"That's weird. Why?"

"Because from now on, your first name is '*New York Times* Bestselling Author.'"
