The paperback version of The Inexorable Fall has been listed as a Top New Release in the Sociology - Social Structure Amazon listings a.co/d/00K2W01W

"A Soul of A New Type" also selling well today, now the top 10 book on semiotics on Amazon, surpassing the book that got me so interested in the topic to begin with, Eco's "A Theory of Semiotics"
