I saw this type of ad only once, in an old Bruce Sterling novel. I found it funny (it referenced the story in a clever way) and thought it was some new innovative approach to advertising which hadn't caught on. I didn't knew this was actually an old thing for Heyne.
- jhbadger 3y agoYeah, in the ones I've read the characters themselves are eating the soup and commenting on how good it is! It's funny, but I can well see how an author might not be amused by advertisers putting words in their characters' mouths.
- cubefox 3y agoIt also makes more sense for some novels than others. For a cyberpunk novel this example of unchecked capitalism would fit right in.
