The Metropolitan Man was written by Alexander Wales in 2014 and posted to, it asks the question: what if Lex Luthor was right about Superman? The story follows Lex Luthor as the ‘villain protagonist’ in the year 1934 upon the arrival of an alien god, the Superman. I really like Lois Lane's character here, the way she looks at the strength/danger dynamics which would have been hard to ignore if there was a real life Superman and Lois Lane love story. Luthor is equipped with his near-infinite financial resources plus the logical skills to give convincing arguments for taking down Superman, as well as how to do it. It's set in the Superman world with Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, as Lex Luthor plots to bring the downfall of Superman. The audiobook is available on the Harry Potter and Methods of Rationality podcast and it's very well done. It's about Superman (and significantly shorter). This is the second rationalist fiction I've read after the Harry Potter and Methods of Rationality book.
and they went through actions based on these while interacting with that fantasy world? IMAGINE if the characters in your favorite storybook were fans of decision theory, existential risks, game theory, rationalism, utilitarianism. So there's this genre I just discovered called rationalist fiction which has me unable to stop reading.
