Speaking of… Look at the cover. There is a Wells blurb.

So do Vulcans have books about how to talk to children about emotions?
That does sound like something Tracey would say.
You didn’t even include Pill Boy?!
Oh god, not the eggs.
Hitchcock and Scully probably are distracted with the pyramid game in Ten Forward.
I thought Vulcans didn’t believe in time travel?
You’ve not experienced it properly till you’ve seen it in a theater with a few hundred Trekkies.
You should read the duology (I’ve only read the first book) Monk and Robot, which is solopunk. The premise is that robots got tired of doing what they were built for, and decided to form a treaty with humans allowing them to wonder into the wild and live without human contact.
Hate to disappoint. It was just the cover.
This type of advertising isn’t new. There is that famous (although the claims from the father have been questioned) New York Times article written by Charles Duhigg in 2012. A father of a teenage girl in Minnesota got upset for receiving coupons from Target for infant care related products. As the story goes, he later learned his daughter was in fact pregnant. It turns out Target was using some predictive algorithm to identify would-be mothers and straight up sending them coupons for infant care products. It seems ever since this article was published that they stopped doing this in such a direct manner. Again, there have people who questioned the validity of the claims for this specific story, but Target did confirm they were doing this.
