I don't have an exact date as my cut-off date, but it does seem that (as I've 
been told by others) I only read books that are otherwise unknown to living 
human readers. Also, I don't know if I will make money directly by these 
books, but there are many indirect rewards that come as a result of 
publishing, and I am trying to make a book that is unlike anything in its 
field (or fields). 

Already said this earlier, but I'm in San Francisco, possibly the most 
expensive place to live on earth. And I don't work in tech, and am a 
generation older than the "typical" or stereotypical residents of this city. 

On the bright side, though, there are about 150 book publishers in the Bay 
area.
