Please consider signing this if you object to the unauthorised use of authors' books to train AI. Five of my books have been used in this way without my permission. It's a disgrace.

Happy 100th to the greatest book ever written, The Great Gatsby. (Yes, this is the hill I shall die on) Still inspiring authors today, it remains as wonderful as it was 100 years ago. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." ā¤ļø
