I'm sure he asked PG for permission. Hyperink, the publisher, is a YC company, which may have been part of PG's incentive for doing it.

- e1ven 15y agoYou're probably right, and I certainly hope so. I respect Andrew. He generally does decent interviews, and I think he's likely a good guy over all. I do think he tends to push the boundries of what's socially acceptable somewhat, which is why I'm questioning. I'm sure I just have a somewhat cynical perspective, forgive me. I'd still love to see it stated on-the-record, as it were, however.
- ltamake 15y agoI bought the book for Kindle and it's just an interview. Since the publisher is a YC company and Andrew is a cool guy, I don't feel bad giving up $5 for this.
- sportsTAKES 15y agoWhat would Andrew have to gain by doing anything shifty here? Nothing. His reputation in this business is worth way more than he could ever generate selling an e-book. I respect Andrew's work enough to know he did his diligence before-hand. Namely, working with and having PG's permission.
