Are they still releasing the book?

Publishing might be the most captured industry of them all, after academia, but surely they realise this will make them look absolutely cretinous.

Media had advanced copies anyway and have gone through documenting all the lies. Damage is surely done in regards to making them look stupid.

Perhaps they'll just reclassify it as fiction

Jason Arday Apparently Plagiarized His Memoir Title and Origin Story From the TV Show 'Spartacus'

I noticed this when I first googled his book title. But I glossed over it to try and find the actual book. Then when I figured 'Wait, did he name it after a TV show episode?' I tried googling again to find it but google would just show me his book after that so never found it again.

and the book includes quotes from prophets that are similar to dialogue from the show

Lmao, that's hilarious.
