In "Grifting the Amazon,” Angie Waller follows a group of book sellers aiming to generate passive income on Amazon.com. To make a profit, the entrepreneurs in this book rely on the unseen labor of overseas workers producing content on a wide range of topics, from juicing to capybara care. This book offers a humorous tour of how you might encounter this "grift" through dubious authors, overly enthusiastic reviews, and mysteriously priced print-on-demand books selling for thousands of dollars.
