Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

What it is

Eliezer Yudkowsky's free novel-length story teaching scientific reasoning, cognitive bias and decision-making through fiction; widely read as an entry point to rationality writing.

Why I recommend it

An unusual entry, but it is free and it teaches how to test your own reasoning better than most textbooks.
