Or the Da Vinci Code. EMP attacks, rogue AI researchers, counterfactual terrorists, conflicts between FAI coders, sudden breakthroughs in molecular nanotechnology, SL5 decision theory insights, the Bayesian Conspiracy, the Cooperative Conspiracy, bioweapons, mad scientists trying to make utility monsters to hack CEV, governmental restrictions on AI research, quantum immortality (to be used as a plot device), and maybe even a glimpse of fun theory. Add in a gratuitous romantic interest to teach the readers about the importance of humanity and the thousand shards of desire.

By the way, writing such a book would probably lead to the destruction of the world, which is probably a major reason why Eliezer hasn’t done it.

Marcus Hutter and the Prophets of Singularity. Works fine as a band name, too.
Stop that, you’ll make me think of a sequel to HP;MOR.
