Thank you so much for this! I tried to read this thing once before, and didn’t get into it at all, despite pretty much loving everything Eliezer has ever written, which experience I now put down to something about the original presentation.
I’m now about 10% of the way through, and loving it. Two days well spent, see y’all in a fortnight or so.....
For anyone in a similar position, I found (and am currently reading):
And I also found https://www.mikescher.com/blog/29/Project_Lawful_ebook, of which the project-lawful-avatars-moreinfo.epub version looks like the one I would prefer to read (but haven’t actually tried reading more than a couple of pages of yet).
I actually think that the avatars are really important to the feel of the story, and have been carefully chosen, and I wouldn’t want to be without them.
Have ended up reading project-lawful-avatars-moreinfo.epub as the best of the options. 70 pages into a total of 183 (very long) pages. It is still great. Enjoying it immensely.
Finally finished it, took about a month-and-a-half at around 3 hours a day. It kind of ate my life. I enjoyed it immensely.
I think the last thing that I liked as much as this was ‘Game of Thrones’. I think it’s probably a Great Work of Literature. Shame the future isn’t going to be long enough for it to get recognised as such...
I wouldn’t have wished it shorter. There were a couple of ‘Sandbox’ chapters that I’d probably cut, in the same way that Lord of the Rings could do without Tom Bombadil, but the main thing is well-paced and consistently both fun and thought-provoking.
It turned out that my preferred way to read it was to unzip project-lawful-avatars-moreinfo.epub. In the unzipped structure all the chapters become plain html files with avatars included, which can be easily read in firefox.

which is much more to my taste.
