Despre această carte electronică
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.
YES, YOU SPECIFICALLY.
WELCOME TO QUALITYLAND.
We hope you enjoy your trip to the happiest, most advanced place on earth.
QualityLand is the world's first 2.0 country, where everything is run by infallible algorithm, including:
- Society (in which everyone is ranked by level)
- Shopping (orders arrive before you even know you want them)
- Relationships (you will be notified instantly if there is a better match)
In fact, this very algorithm selected you to visit QualityLand. If you don't like it, you're not just ungrateful - you're also wrong, because the algorithm is always right.
While you're visiting, be aware there is an election going on - the perfect time to see QualityLand in action...
ENJOY YOUR TRIP!

Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse
'This is spot-on satire.'
