Senior Editor, The Information Interview starts at 11:36 and ends at 43:50 “[Amazon’s HQ2 decision] will be before the end of the year, unless something radical changes. I don’t think it’s imminent. It’s probably--I’m guessing here--but it’s probably months away. I would guess like towards the end of the summer, early fall. That’s really not based on hard facts but kind of reading between the lines.” News Data Guy’s presentation to the 2018 Science Fiction Writers of America conference “Amazon

I think it’s very concerning from a cybersecurity point of view, because people have already learned how to spoof Alexa. Just a few days ago they came up with the equivalent of a dog whistle-type command that you couldn't hear, but Alexa could. Someone could turn it on and off.” News “An Amazon Echo recorded a family’s conversation, then sent it to a random person in their contacts,

That does not guarantee continued muddling, but I personally am more heartened than I thought I would be by all this resilience around the country.

I kind of go ‘Let’s see what this is about.” I think it takes away from the immersion of reading. If I’m interested in something I’ll take a look at it later on, but during the reading process I don’t really want to leave.” News Jeff Bezos interviewed in Berlin by Mathias Dopfner

Longtime Kindle Chronicles listener Interview starts at 18:14 and ends at 43:00 “It was very clear what was missing [in Seattle’s Amazon Go store]. There was no Kindle, no Fires, no place to scan and order one. Maybe that’s because you can just walk out, and they figure if they’re going to lose inventory they want it to be five dollars or under. What was distinctly absent was any Amazon products that you identify with the Amazon brand.” News “Inside Jeff Bezos’s DC Life” by Ben Wofford at The

It was that Amazon happened to be the people who believed in me and my book, and they’ve been so wonderful to work with. I do feel also that Little A is a tiny imprint within a huge company, so I kind of get the best of both worlds--that personal TLC and the brawn of the marketing and other kinds of reach of Amazon.” News Jeff Bezos’s 2018 Letter to

I was talking about difficulty I was having in the book with a character. She said to me, ‘If you know the question, you do know the answer.’ That was really helpful, because what that told me is that if I could articulate what difficulty I was having with a book then buried somewhere in my head was going to be the solution to

That’s actually a good metaphor for Goodreads and Kindle. Kindle is where you read alone.

I was one of those who came out and said, ‘Why?’ What you need to be doing is expanding your brand. People know your brand.

But I think, frankly, a lot of what passes as literature today will not stand the test of time, because there’s no story in the story. You have 350 pages of a character examining his navel and having interior monologue, and that’s just not the stuff that’s going to endure....Though he has not won a National Book Award and probably never will,

Author of Into the Black Nowhere: An UNSUB Novel Interview starts at 18:20 and ends at 40:10 “One of the oldest stories that humanity tells itself is defeating the monster. Whether that’s the dark shape that howls in the night outside the cave or something that drags a club around or sea monsters--humanity always wants to defeat the monster. To do that we have to try to identify and understand it. The idea that the monster walks among us disguised as one of the community I think sets us on edge.”

In taking care of a story, if there is something that I don’t quite understand, I’m not going to say, ‘Oh, that’s not related. We’ll take it out.’ I’m going to ask for more. Show me how this is all of us.” (Photo by Stephanie Land) News Amazon press release on top 20 in HQ2 search - January 18, 2018 Recode on top 20 - January 18, 2018
