Is This The Great “Effective-Altruist” Novel?

Ten years ago last month, Scott Alexander published the prologue to his online novel Unsong. I’d already been reading Alexander’s now-famous blog SlateStarCodex for a few years at that point, but I didn’t take the time to read his novel. I spend too much time looking at screens already, and besides, I go to the internet for gossip and hot takes, not great literature.
