There were multiple people that could have cared as this piece of slop made its way to print and yet nobody did. Everyone just going through the motions, grinding out shit they don't care about with the least effort possible.

Yes, but there's a chain of command. Multiple people *could have* cared, but it wasn't their turn to care and they probably would have drawn more flack from management for raising a problem than just letting the work flow.
Crazy - the only reason why a page like this makes sense financially (to a layperson, that is) is that publishers get to promote their *existing* books…
If people really don't care they should reduce their production costs further by just printing Lorem Ipsum text and be done with it. That's minimum cost and fully in line with their apparent level of concern for the topic.

No flying cars, no laser guns, no Rosie the Robot Jestons life: just half-assed shit cranked out to meet deadlines
(although this article might actually bring awareness now)
Think of how many publishers/publicists are mad they weren’t contacted & won’t reach out in the future!
