![]() ![]() Its like a 19th century serialization of a novel. Unfortunately, the novel is not yet finished, but is still being written, and so I am in the unexpected situation of waiting impatiently with the many other fans for the next batch of chapters. ![]() I don’t read all that much fiction, but I made it through 87 chapters and more than 1000 pages of the novel – so that is saying something. Harry decides that he will use the methods of science to study magic. Yudkowsky has changed the story so that Petunia married a brilliant biochemist rather than Vernon Dursley, and Harry grew up reading science and science fiction to become an incredible prodigy. While I find this literature interesting, Yudkowsky makes it enormous fun by working it into his retelling of Harry Potter’s first year at Hogwarts. Yudkowsky is well versed in this literature of cognitive biases and rational methods. He hopes to make people more rational by getting them to avoid mistakes caused by cognitive biases and to rely on more reliable methods of reaching correct results. But what distinguishes it from other first rate fan fiction is the underlying approach of the author Eliezer Yudkowsky of the Less Wrong blog. This is an absolutely marvelous work of fan fiction written in the Harry Potter universe. ![]()
