You don't need to read a cyberpunk thriller set in a dystopian future. It's already here and its name is Amazon.
-
From pumping raw sewerage and freezing water at strikers (literally in the past day) to creating rival infrastructure to supplant the US postal system and being the ubiquitous web-hosting service, Amazon is everywhere at all times, doing the nastiest crap you can think of. Brian Thompson caught a bullet but I'm hoping beyond hope that Bezos is the next to go (perhaps, Elon Musk first?). Too many billionaires, not enough Luigis.
-
Danny Caine is a reasonable fellow with axiomatic arguments about why Amazon is the devil. He co-owns an independant bookstore named The Raven. I love our local independent bookstore here in Palmy @brucemckenziebooks and I picked this up at @unitybookswgtn so I'm already on board with Caine's position from the get-go, and I don't really need evidence to back up my hatred of the rich.

If you think rich people suck, hello, friend. If you need more reasons to hate Amazon and Bezos (such as their omnipresence inside and outside homes thanks to Alexa and the Ring doorbell camera and encouraging law enforcement to adopt the tech) read this book.
