In a future of work for no pay, somehow I don't expect much work will get done for anyone but themselves.
Not by you or others who share your worldview. But that is fine with me. Without any prejudice towards you or your list of titles, I personally do not see myself ever reading anything from you. (And, likewise without any prejudice, I am certain you could wholeheartedly make the same claim about my own booklist.)

I'm looking forward to stuff from Moejoe though, who seems to actually enjoy writing and does it as artistic exercise that mustn't be financially compensated to be worthwhile.
