Young-adult authors write books for young adults. The author's age is irrelevant (actually, the older they are, the creeper writing books for pre-teens becomes).

They are seeking to increase their wealth without providing additional productivity, or anything of value. That's rent seeking. Not a new concept, happening constantly around us, and nobody seems to want to call it what it is.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
