Eliezer--

Can you give us any information about when or how the book is going to be published?

The book will be written before he feels his work is done on FAI.

You know it's true because intuitively you need a non-work outlet for creativity and flow, and it makes sense to write about rationality in an entertaining way and to write a character (Harry) which he can take as an inspiration.

Of course, you also know it's false because the man prioritizes and FAI matters far more.

... I find a lot of rationalizations are like that. One of the most useful quick-n-dirty rationality heuristics LessWrong has given me is to 'consider the opposite'
