It may be a million words of fake profundities for nerds, but it came to me at the right time to nudge me towards the PC end of the NPC/PC spectrum at university. I'm sure I'm a better person for having read it, and my friends agree that the PC-ish ways I acted at university (in large part inspired by HPMoR) were good.
If you have suggestions for better books that make you grok again that you can and should be a PC in your life, do please recommend them - I need constant reminding or I get out of practice!
