Author's Response to the call for banning this Book: The book captures my true feelings about working at Amazon which were recorded as they happened, and cover both the good & the bad. Some Amazon managers & fans are uncomfortable about the bad and are calling for a ban on this book. However, I don't believe Jeff Bezos believes in censorship. I am confident that Amazon will continue to resist the pressure from such misguided attempts.I deny I am a member of Conspiracy For Good. There is no CFG or any other insignia embedded on the cover of the book, just a discoloration.-------DESCRIPTION: Behind Amazon's quirky smile logo lurks a cold and calculating giant machine. Author Kalpanik S. reveals his own smile as he tells the somewhat quirky story of his complex, and often hilarious, relationship with Amazon. From the sophisticated wit in his portrayal of the courtship period in "How To Get Hired By Amazon In Ten Days", to the dark humor of the disillusionment period in "The Cold, Calculating Machine", Kalpanik's story is more than just an insider's view of the giant machine known as Amazon.com. It's a modern, universal story of the uneasy relationship between an individual and today's gargantuan corporations. In the end, it is also a story of redemption for creative and free thinking individuals that define America.--About the AuthorKalpanik S. is the pen name of a foreign-born technologist.
