I’m more than a little ashamed to admit I’m only reading this now, after writing about half of a first draft of what is nominally a piece of “Rationalist Fiction,”Erica’s Adventures In The Multiverse.. I say nominally, because reading this I realized that I didn’t even know what “rationalist fiction” is, despite having read and loved HPMOR and having other, even more embarrassing reasons, to school myself in this regard.
The good news is, I’m going through what I’ve written so far, and I think I can salvage what’s good about it while reconstructing what needs to be reconstructed to transform the thing from fake rationalist fiction to something hopefully worthy of the label. It’s invigorating, actually.
