This market resolves to "Yes" if The Echo Machine: How Right-Wing Extremism Created a Post-Truth America makes it onto the New York Times best-seller list. Being on any of the NYT best seller lists will qualify (eg. if it is one of the 15 books on hardcover non-fiction best-sellers it would count).

The book is available for preorder on Amazon and will be available on March 25th.

This market will resolve to "Yes" as soon as it is featured as a NYT best seller. This market will resolve to "No" at the end of June 2025 if it has not made the list by then.

The sweepstakes market for this question has been resolved to partial as we are shutting down sweepstakes. Please read the full announcement here. The mana market will continue as usual.

Only markets closing before March 3rd will be left open for trading and will be resolved as usual.

Users will be able to cashout or donate their entire sweepcash balance, regardless of whether it has been won in a sweepstakes or not, by March 28th (for amounts above our minimum threshold of $25).

I am trying to research to see if David Pakman has ever been on the NYT Bestseller list in the past. I can't find anything. It seems tougher to break through for the first time. I'll buy some No shares for now.

@Eliza yeah seems high. Although the book seems like it could draw extra eyes due to the subject matter.

I've never heard of him before now.

What dates does the NYT best-seller list update on? Is it a weekly thing?

@Eliza

I found this on Amazon.com. It looks like this will need more preorders to get that initial bump.

@Eliza yeah I think its weekly
