As someone who spent an unreasonable chunk of 2025 wading through the 1.8M words of planecrash, this post does a remarkable job of covering a large portion of the real-world relevant material directly discussed (not all—there’s a lot to cover where planecrash is concerned). I think one of the main things lacking in the review is a discussion of some of the tacit ideas which are conveyed—much of the book seems to be a metaphor for the creation of AGI, and a wide range of ideas are explored more implicitly.
All in all, I think this post does a decent task of compressing a very large quantity of material.
