Today’s Deal (Not Free, just Cheap)

1. A Drowned Maiden’s Hair by Laura Amy Schlitz. Price: $0.99. Genre: Spine-Chilling Horror. Rated 4.5 stars on 33 reviews. 401 pages.

The children of the districts are pitted against each other in a fight to the death called The Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen lives in the twelfth of these districts. When her little sister’s name is drawn to act as one of the tributes from District Twelve, Katniss volunteers herself and is cast into a world full of death and fear.

This is the premise of the Young Adult series, The Hunger Games. Some may compare this story to the Japanese novel, Battle Royale and I can’t help but agree with this comparison. The story seems as though it was lifted from the pages, but there are definitely some differences in story and style that set The Hunger Games apart.

This novel explores a dystopian future from the youth’s perspective as it rarely has been before. In the impoverished Seam neighborhood of District Twelve, Katniss has always had to fight to keep herself and her family alive. In that time she became an expert archer, lending her a great skill during the games.

The earlier third of the novel describes her skills, her family, and her home. Collins seamlessly develops such characters as the town drunk and Katniss’s trainer, Haymitch, her confidant and hunting partner, Gayle, and her sweet and gifted sister, Primrose. For some time I have been looking for a book that could so quickly envelop me in its story and characters as The Hunger Games managed.

In each novel, Collins first offers character and plot development for sometime, then hurtles into the games where no rules apply. Death and gore, blind fighting, and intense fear are reflected in haphazard style that takes over during the final third of the novels. Despite some criticisms that Collins has received for this change in style, I truly feel that a starved and terrified young woman would narrate her story in a similar fashion.

While the style generally maintains its quality throughout the series, the pattern that the novels follow becomes tedious by the third book. The so-called “arena” seems contrived and the traps that cause Katniss so much grief are written in such a confusing way that I could not imagine them in my mind’s eye.

It seems that Collins was growing tired of the story by the end of the third book, and I have to say I was, too. The tragedies and triumphs that ensue are fumbled over and some of the characters lose much of their spark.

Beyond these late flaws, The Hunger Games is of impressive quality and is in league with such Young Adult works as Harry Potter and can even hold its own when compared to George Orwell’s 1984. Like these works, there is a love story contained within the pages, but that is not the sole message of the series.

Too often, YA and other works are consumed by their love story, blocking out any other themes. The Hunger Games teeters on the edge of this, with Katniss and her fellow tribute, Peeta constantly kissing, with the will-they-won’t-they dynamic of her and her friend, Gayle, and with the Twilight-esque two men to choose between. Lucky for the reader, this series avoids going overboard with the love story and maintains its themes.

As mentioned earlier, this novel is oriented around a dystopian future from the youth’s perspective. Now more than ever, these themes are both relevant to our lives and important to understand. With the lack of privacy in our lives, the growing supply of nuclear weapons, and the unrest across the world, the world could face a future very similar to the one that exists within the pages of The Hunger Games.

Some may say that these themes are far too mature to be thought of by the readers of Young Adult literature, but it is the youth of today who would face this future. They must be informed of the possible consequences of a war torn world.

Overall, The Hunger Games is a series of impressive calibre. While the books each have their own flaws, the story, themes, characters, and writing all enchant and delight the reader. I would highly recommend this novel to anyone interested in Speculative or Young Adult literature.

2. [Good Deal] What It Was by George Pelecanos. Price: $0.99. Genre: Hard-Boiled, Washington DC in 1972, Mystery. New Release. 272 pages.

Here are some very conflicted thoughts:

1. Great Idea. If you’re a company that likes to throw out lots of ideas and see what sticks, this is definitely worth trying out.
2. Kudos to Amazon and Jeff Bezos for having so much ambition.
3. Don’t think Mr. Bezos has ever seen a technology pie he didn’t want to stick a finger into.
4. Amazon Studios might end up being Kind of a Big Deal.
5. First get books right. There’s a grand curation problem in books – partly due to what Kindle has enabled. There’s a huge value perception problem in books – mostly due to what Kindle has enabled. It’d be really nice to see Amazon focus its attention on fixing that first.
6. The line of logic that ‘we can still give as much attention to books, while also doing movies’ doesn’t make sense. Resources, especially time, are finite.
7. Amazon Studios is to Movies and Kindle Fire what Kindle DTP is to Books and Kindle.
8. Amazon’s ambition is eventually going to get it killed. My vote would have been with ‘Amazon’s reluctance to build up a huge cash hoard or a huge patent hoard’. However, increasingly it seems that Amazon’s reach might exceed its grasp.
9. Amazon Studios should have begun to scare a LOT of movie producers. Not necessarily because it will replace Avatar – because it might be able to replace Paranormal Activity.
10. Perfectly efficient markets kill the participating content producers. Amazon Studios is almost certainly going to end up being a close-to-perfectly-efficient market.
11. Not sure why so many technical companies think algorithms can solve everything.
12. Not sure why so many technical companies think getting people to work for free or cheap and then making money from that (due to scale/volume) is a sustainable strategy.
13. It worries me that so many people and so many companies are now moving to an attitude that – ‘getting to have their books read/movies seen’ is enough reward for artists.
14. The contract is laughably one-sided IF your movie becomes a big hit.
15. If Amazon doesn’t option the rights - you have to still give it rights to use your movie.
16. At one level it just seems a way for Amazon to be able to win the mythical Who has the most free movies? contest. Never mind that 70% of Amazon’s ‘free’ Prime Movies will be produced by 15 year-old-kids and will star Mentos and Coke.
17. Amazon is like the jealous spouse who doesn’t even want you looking at someone else. Consider this:
    

    … for 18 months after you create a project at Amazon Studios, you cannot display, sell or license your script or test movie elsewhere, or withdraw it for any reason. However, when the option term ends, if we haven’t exercised our option and purchased your work, you will get back non-exclusive rights to your original material.

18. That last phrase is genius – ‘you will get back non-exclusive rights to your original material’. There’s a pretty strong vein of ‘We’re doing you a huge favor and you better not forget it’ running throughout the FAQ.
19. Amazon is the equivalent of a Stage 5 Clinger. Except, you have to take a blood oath that even if you break up, you will spend one weekend together in Paris every month.
20. Content Creators are probably so desperate Amazon could have introduced a ‘You will swim with sharks before we read your script’ condition and they’d still sign up.
21. There’s got to a more sustainable strategy than ‘let’s mass-produce cheap content and hope we get lucky’.

The one thing that really bothers me, and perhaps should bother anyone who loves books, is that Amazon doesn’t have the ends wrapped up with books yet.

Amazon should get the Kindle Store right first

There are lots of things that need to be fixed with books. The two biggest ones are:

1. How do authors get paid? And No – sharing out $700K amongst 7,000 indie authors every month is NOT a solution. 
2. Who does the curation?

Right now Amazon is just thinking – Wow, we figured out how to blow up an entire industry. Figuring out a new viable model is difficult. Let’s just go blow up another industry.

That’s a really strange way of looking at things. It’s very Amazon centric i.e. it doesn’t consider what happens to content creators or people or to quality.

You can’t make everything a loss leader

This is another example of what seems a strangely short-sighted Amazon attitude towards content.

1. Content Makers are desperate. Content Publishers are inefficient. Let’s blow up the market and turn content into a loss leader that helps us sell other stuff.

It’s become a bit much. History will look back at the rise of the Internet companies and perhaps consider them the biggest value destructors for people who create content.

1. Some tech companies want your creations for free so they can run ads against them.
2. Some tech companies want your creations for free so they can use them as a lure or as loss leaders.
3. Some tech companies want your creations for free so they can sell them for profit. 

Where on Earth are the tech companies that are willing to build sustainable business models? Internet companies make Microsoft and Apple seem absolute saints in comparison. To be honest – they really are. When you think of the number of HUGE companies that grew up based on the Personal Computer ecosystem. And the number of people who did well selling software and other things.

With Internet companies, it’s an anti-ecosystem. It’s a giant leech sucking all the blood out of content creators.

It’s great for consumers of content – until the malnutrition of content creators trickles through the system and blows it up.

Why do so many companies look for the easy solution?

It escapes me why the vast majority of tech companies want to build a model where they profit from other people’s hard work.

Capitalism is glorious. However, capitalism usually meant paying the people who made the products. The Internet in general, and Internet companies and people who have never had to sell anything in particular, are creating an environment where the creators aren’t getting paid. It’s just not sustainable.

And everyone is caught in the trap now. The glorious thing about it is that most of the tech companies using these strategies aren’t very profitable either. The Internet is just a huge destructor of industries.

At some point we won’t have people left who make a decent living. There’s not going to be a middle class. It’ll just be very rich people and poor people who’re supposed to feed themselves on the knowledge that invisible people on the Internet enjoyed their work and they got nothing at all from it.

Whether you sell a physical product or a digital one – It’s time to start wondering. What are you going to do when your arguments (an extra copy costs nothing, volume makes up for it, Internet makes everything cheap and efficient, X/information/value wants to be free) are used against you?

Whether you like it or not – The argument extends to whatever you do. There’s always some idiot somewhere who’s willing to do your exact job for free. And there are more than enough companies willing to leverage that into creating Giant Leech ecosystems that will slowly suck everyone and everything dry. Movie Producers and Book Publishers are evil – but they don’t make money if they don’t sell movies and books for profit. That’s the one big lesson – Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
