My favorite one from qntm is probably Miguel Acevedo [1]. It is pretty spot on wrt. several topics related to the current AI boom ; for instance the licensing topic.

MMAcevedo, the TV series Pantheon, and the play The Summerland Project are all excellent treatments of the topic.

If you enjoyed any one of those three, then I recommend the others.

That's one of those ones that really sticks with you. First time I read it I had to sit alone and just think for quite a while afterward.

It's like four pages and it lays out the fiction better than many 400-page novels or entire films dealing with similar subject matters have, IMO.

I'll wait for the re-release regardless. No need to jump through any hoops to get it on my Kindle plus the author gets paid for their work. Plus, I imagine it'll benefit from the work of an editor.

You may want to read both, they are going to be pretty different. For starters, AIUI the new published version is not going to be an SCP story, probably because of rights issues. I assume it will be "SCP with the serial numbers filed off", but we won't know for sure until it comes out. I'd read the existing one and then decide if you like it enough that you want to preorder the new one.

SCP is CC-SA-BY anyway, so you can download it from torrent, modify it, resell it, if you want to[0]. It's basically GPL, so you can do that with anything that has any relation to an SCP (derivative of a derivative of a derivative)

No you cannot. There is no such book.

The author's page links to the original SCP Wiki page, where you can read it in parts, as it was being created. It's not a straight book download, but you can think of each red link as a chapter.

Beware: SCP is as enthralling as TV Tropes.
