Beyond Research
The parts of my life that don’t fit in a paper.
“I will take responsibility for what I have done. If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man.”
The bookshop
60,000+books sold in six years
After grade 10, my twin sister and I started an online bookshop. It grew into a little over 60,000 books sold in six years, with our busiest stretch during COVID.
Sales have dropped sharply lately, and I keep wondering why. Is it social media, or the rise of LLMs and AI? That could be a social study of its own.
