One of my favourite web-things of all time. Incredible creativity in an unexpected place.

This spoilery link provides context about the op link if that's what you want

This is an earlier work from the same author that I found absolutely delightful. https://www.sbnation.com/2014/8/18/5998715/the-tim-tebow-cfl...

You cannot predict where this story will go. It will take a turn and you will think, "oh, that's weird, but ok, I get it". And then it will do it again, and again, and again. But somehow, by the end of it all, it all makes sense.

Reminding me a lot of Unsong.com, by Scott Alexander.

In case people are wondering why this is being posted to HN again, the author just signed a book deal:

I had no idea about this haha (I can confirm I am not associated with the author in any way)
alargemoose•7mo ago
I’ve adored Jon’s writing for years, so a book is exciting! But it does bum me out a little bit that it will be “just” a book. Compared to the dynamic and multimedia formats of “Tim Tebow in the CFL” and “Football 17776”. The writing is excellent, but the dynamic and multimedia nature of his previous work will be missed. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!
addandsubtract•7mo ago
Wait, this is actually amazing.

Jon Bois has done some fantastic work. I love his Pretty Good series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUXSZMIiUfFSCYW1o-4wh... Entertaining even if you're not into sports (but you better be into data!)

For those who don't have time to... "read"... this great story, Jacob Geller provides a fun and effective summary within this video at 9 minutes in

In his words: "It is in my opinion one of the best sci-fi stories ever written."

I got jumpscared by the text :sob:
Thoreandan•7mo ago
Viewing it under Chrome, as soon as the scrollbar reached a certain point, it started progressively zoom-increasing the text size. Weird bug.
jbeninger•7mo ago
Is it, though?
Agentlien•7mo ago
Try again, with some patience. You might find this bug more interesting than expected.
