I'm pleased to see that the rationality book is going to be long, at around 300,000 words twice the length of your average fantasy blockbuster. It should be one of these voluminous and somewhat self-indulgent pop-science books in the mould of Godel, Escher, Bach or The Emperor's New Mind for a shot at the NYT bestseller list.

I can't believe you just put those two books in the same sentence.

I agree that TENM is no GEB (though it has its strengths) but they are both voluminous and somewhat self-indulgent pop-science books that got on the NYT bestseller list..
