The way it works now, the lead time has to be long because distributors want to have time to talk to all of the bookstores who want to place the orders ahead of time.
Zibby OwensGUEST
They also have to talk to long lead publications who are picking and book club hosts in some cases who are making or breaking your book almost a year ahead of time.
Zibby OwensGUEST
All of these things, the media, the distributors, the book club picks, these are all happening a year out.

Because he talks about recursive self-improvement, right so he makes a claim about recursive self-improvement now people like ed zitron are saying we don't have that yet so i'm like well okay that's a claim that needs to be tested and if we had a halfway competent government they would be there tomorrow.
Ravi GuptaHOST
