This comment reminded me, with a smile, of Scott Alexander's Unsong: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/unsong-available-in-paperba...

A very heavy recommendation from me for this.

Hn has no spoiler tags but one of the really big things to me is this https://gist.github.com/IanCal/d9667ae9c6ce15315191a36c6b3af...

I too enjoyed Unsong, but I've never gone back and reread it because I found the chapter about The Broadcast so haunting.
It is a very well written, truly horrible chapter.

It doesn't have a huge bearing on the story, so can be skipped - and I think a lot of people probably should.

I didn't have much interest in reading this book until I read this comment.

To Amazon!
