Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

The only comment is a brief reply about the author's site: a page that links to a corner of the site mentioning a book purchase without a link to buy it. It says nothing about the writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. That makes perfect sense, you're a gent. This page [0] still links to (when clicking the main image) an oddish seeming corner of your site that mentions purchasing the book but has no link to it [0] https://inventingthefuture.ghost.io/
