"I heard about Rockefeller Publishing on a sunny afternoon while hanging out with friends in a cafeteria at the Berkeley Campus. One friend mentioned that a New York publisher launched a program for authors, allowing them to publish open access 100% free. And then I thought, "why not give it a try?" I was close to completing writing my new book on generative AI, and the idea of publishing it for free and letting it open to anyone sounded awesome. The no-cost policy was a big win." (Alessandro Vargas, June 2024).
