Hmmm... This Atlantic article describes how Meta has stolen millions of books for their AI - and my novel Unfettered Journey is one of them. They even copied the Japanese version.

AI trivia - A marketing use of AI that you likely will see more of soon - a mailer arrived for TED2025, included a photo of ME (from last year) - clearly not an accident. (From the badge photos, they can use AI to sort through footage for matches, then print the mailers with one special photo slot.)
