Ah, so this is a "submarine" article[1] about the author's new book. These days everything is a "submarine" advertisement for one thing or another, and it's nice to know what's going to be advertised before you start reading. Thanks.

Sure, it's a type of advertisement, but it has a lot of stand alone value, and surely this is a legitimate way to try to convince you to buy the book.
