Future prophecy from 1989... are we living it today?

From inside the front cover:

Praise for CYBERBOOKS

"Those unfamiliar with the publishing industry may think Bova exaggerates. Can booksellers really return all their merchandise for a full refund? Do editors spend their days at meetings discussing marketing categories and authors' track records, leaving no time to actually read manuscripts? Does the size of the advance paid to an author actually determine the sales of his book? Do giant oil conglomerates really take over publishing house and then run them idiotically? Alas, the answer to all these questions is Yes."
-New York Post

From Library Journal
A research scientist threatens to revolutionize the publishing industry with his invention--the "cyberbook"--and catapults himself into a world of vicious schemers in this satire on the convoluted world of publishing. Veteran sf author Bova takes aim at the near future in a slapstick comic-suspense novel suitable for large sf collections.-- JC
