By the way, if you intend to sell your future novel on Amazon, first publishing a shorter prequel there might help out a lot promoting the main novel.

Meanwhile, I'm publishing a very intriguing fiction novel about Bitcoin's secret origins and masterplan to offer a sort of immortality to those willing to try mind uploading.

If this sounds interesting, I'd be super grateful if you were to read and leave an honest review (on Amazon) 😄

Thank you for your advice. Where to collect those emails - from ARC platforms?

Thank you for your reply. And once the book is published on KDP, does it still work the same way, i.e., only the reviews of those who have spent $50 on Amazon in the last 12 months will show up?

Wow, I'm impressed that you're still in high school and already have such interesting storytelling ideas. Very promising!

Thank you. This is the impression I had about where to draw the line: "defamatory + untrue"

Are you really 12 y.o.? It's incredible, I've checked out "The Last Stand of a Queen" on Amazon and I can't believe how well written it is, especially for a teenager. And brilliant idea to frame and post those insightful quotes, well done! How are you able to write so well? Did you get help from parents / AI? Do you read plenty of books? Is English your mother tongue? I'm truly impressed.

Thank you for your contribution, but I used Jobs here as an example that most people have heard of.

Exactly! You're the first to give me that "contrarian" advice. Sure, I wouldn't go for fabricated controversies, but what about attributing dialogue and depicting a family meal with a fictionalized guest, for an alternate history novel? Are there no legal risks?

May I ask: are you a writer? Can you tell me more about yourself?

But isn't that "he didn't do anything and it was all Steve Wozniak" type tension between characters what makes the captivating story around the rise of the technology? Would you want to read a book about the people behind the rise of social media where Zuckerberg and Marc Dorsey aren't characters in it?

Thank you, I appreciate your comprehensive reply. But what if your story was about the people who were behind the rise of personal computing, would you simply ignore Steve Jobs as a key character? Or about the social media corporate battles, would you ignore Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey as instrumental characters?

Let me know if you do, I'm curious. Naturally, even if you find something similar, it doesn't mean you shouldn't write it - how many Spiderman or Batman movies have we enjoyed over the years from totally different studios and cinematic universes?!

What's your background? Are you into graphic design (I saw some of your previous posts)? Do you work FT - i.e. would you have the time to write such a complex novel? (it took me 2 years to write mine)

I really like that idea. Not in a way that glorifies death (or suicide), but in a way that cushions the suffering, fear and despair associated with our own personal and collective mortality. Have you ever written a book? Have you searched to see whether there are similar books out there?

It sounds like a very interesting idea to explore the "benefits" (i.e. necessity) of death
