Fancy buying a ‘machine-generated literature review’ of digital geographies for €192.59? Just stumbled across this book. So many questions related to audience, editor, publisher, scholarship, academic integrity, etc. link.springer.com/book/9789819...
This machine-generated volume showcases how digital technologies are having deep transformative impacts on geographies and temporalities
Who are perceived readers/buyers? Why buy when you can formulate own prompts to write? What level of trust in content? How is plagiarism handled given entirely made from other texts? How will peers view & promotion/tenure boards handle? Can Springer sink any lower in its extractive capitalism?
My "favourite" part is the "Publish with us" link, which is really adding insult to injury.
