Free books => Demand to infinity
Only free today
Ok, so this isn’t really about economics, but I have mentioned a few times that I enjoy Brandon Sanderson books. Well, there’s another fantasy author named Will Wight, and I have a ton of fun reading his books.
Turns out, today only (May 31), all of Will Wight’s books are free on Kindle.
And since the expected utility of these books is greater than zero, that means the benefits exceed the costs and you should download them.
I love his Cradle series.
I haven’t read The Elder Empire - Sea Trilogy or the Traveler’s Gate Trilogy, but I suspect MB>MC, so I downloaded them.
If you do get them, let me know what you think!
