Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“Honestly speaking, half the books on the bestseller list are there because publishing houses bought 10,000 copies themselves to game the rankings. We've normalized literary money laundering and call it 'marketing.'”
