I don’t think this is exactly what Kieran had in mind when he suggested that the Amazon recommendation engine might be broadening its scope, but I just received this:
Dear Amazon.com Customer,
We’ve noticed that customers who have purchased or rated Political Liberalism (Columbia Classics in Philosophy) by John Rawls have also purchased Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement That’s Bringing Common Sense Back to America by Mike Huckabee. For this reason, you might like to know that Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement That’s Bringing Common Sense Back to America will be released on November 18, 2008.

It means that the Amazon recommendation engine has become sentient. And then, naturally, reached for a bong…

I once received an Amazon email to the effect of ‘customers who bought books also bought GCSE revision guides’.

It’s rather simpler: surely Huckabee forms part of the overlapping consensus too.
