An Email from Amazon
Computers and the Internet are a part of my daily life, but sometimes I wonder…
A few days ago I got an email from Amazon.com asking, “Are you looking for something in our Science Fiction & Fantasy books department? If so, you might be interested in these items.”
Thanks Amazon for the reading advice
The first book on the list was my debut novel, Titan Encounter. At first I laughed that the company would recommend my own book to me. Then I realized that this email was most likely created by a computer program that monitored my browsing. and thought, well, Titan Encounter is actually the perfect novel for my tastes.
“Thanks for the email Amazon, but I already have a copy. However, please send similar recommendations to thousands of other science fiction fans.”
