Summary

This quote suggests that contemporary writers rely heavily on the design decisions made by technology giants like Apple and Amazon. It draws a parallel between this dependence and a race-car driver who has no say in the design of their vehicle. The quote implies that writers today have surrendered control over the platforms they use, allowing designers to determine the functionality and experience provided. It highlights a potential concern that writers may have become passive participants in shaping the tools they employ, raising questions about the extent of their autonomy and creative agency in the digital age.
