## What Jamie wrote

The concept behind this book is interesting to me.

> The idea behind the book is to ask what would it be like to live in a city administered using the business model of Amazon (or Apple, IKEA, Pornhub, Spotify, Tinder, Uber, and more), or a city where critical public services are delivered by these companies?

I feel the answer to this is very much know. Cities do not have the same goals as companies. Why would you run them the same.
