Do you know why McDonald’s is the most popular hamburger stand in the United States? Possibly the world? This is a serious question that is going to change what you read.
McDonald’s the the most popular hamburger stand in the world not because it is good, but because it is always the same. No matter where you go the Quarter pounder is the same taste and texture. No matter what state, or even country, you visit, the Big Mac is…the same.
It is that way by scientific design. The people who own Mickey D spend millions of dollars making sure their hamburger, their fries, their Coke, tastes exactly the same no matter where you go. They specifically make their hamburgers so they appeal to the most people.
Well, of course they do. It’s only logical. And that’s exactly what the people who make books do. That book you picked up the other day is carefully crafted to appeal to the most amount of people. Of course it is. Unfortunately, this method of making everything the same spurs a blandness that infects all writing.
And, as long as we buy into this corporate sameness there will never be another good book written. In the coming years you won’t read a new Gone with the Wind, or a Dune, or a One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, or a To Kill a Mocking Bird. Those days, and books, are over.
Don’t believe me? As you go through this site I’ll explain about books, and soon you’ll realize that you’ve been reading the same old same old, corporate pablum. I’ll lay out the precise methods corporations use to ‘blandisize’ that book you pick up off the shelf.
Call it ‘politically correct,’ call it ‘woke,’ the fact is that’s what books are, and until you understand how publishers, editors, readers, and agents foist their filters upon you…you will be reading watered down gruel designed to keep you happy and unthinking.
This site is designed not just to present intelligent books that break the corporate mold, but to educate you. Enough people become educated and we will see books like Dune and The Godfather and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and To Kill a Mocking Bird and…Monkeyland.
Monkeyland, incidentally, is free. Click on the Monkeyland Link, read about it, see what I’m talking about, then download Monkeyland and begin your break out from the mental straight jacket that corporations have been selling us.
Guaranteed, it is different than anything you have ever read!
