I have a completely unfalsifiable conspiracy theory, call it a
"curious hand-waving intuition"... that the post-facto explanation
Amazon gave about "publishing rights" is a little too clean and
slippery for my linking.
Do not the choices of Ayn Rand and George Orwell, both of whom deal
with themes of authoritarianism, from amongst all possible book titles
and authors, seem a little interesting?
Almost as if someone, an insider perhaps, had wanted to remind the
public that Amazon's capabilities were not those of your friendly
local bookstore.
- thfuran 4y agoI'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting. That some Amazon employee decided to delete everyone's copy of 1984 as an obscure jab at their employer and then Amazon, instead of saying it was an error and reversing it, just ran with it and made some bizarre cover-up?
- nonrandomstring 4y agoYou're playing the "conspiracy theory" game all wrong :) When it's your turn you have to come up with even more outlandish figments of overactive imagination, paranoia and grandiosity. The winner gets to say something like "This goes all the way to the top", or "We're through the looking glass now people"... etc.
