Is anyone working on rationalist stand-alone fiction?
Actually, what I meant was "Is anyone in this community working on rationalist stand-alone fiction?".
Not that I've seen. It'd be cool though. I think maybe you can see traces in people like Peter Watts, but if you take HPMOR as the defining example, I can't think of anything.
Lee Child (the Jack Reacher series) presents a good bit of clear thinking.
I'm always found Stross (and to a lesser extent, Scalzi) to be fairly rationalist - in the sense that I don't see anyone holding the idiot ball all that frequently. People do stupid things, but they tend not to miss the obvious ways of implementing their preferences.
