Tyler Cowen has published a book that he says is more than a book: https://econgoat.ai/en. You can 'explore it with AI.' The book is about the greatest economists of all time.

Resolves to YES if I do read the book and consider it to have been a good use of time.

Resolves to NO if I at least make a serious attempt to read the book, and conclude it was not a good use of time.

Resolves to fair market price if I decide not to make a serious attempt to read the book after considering arguments made and the trading and market price.

If I trade in this market, I am committing to resolving this to YES or NO.

I imagine the book could be interesting if you're interested in economics or if you haven't read that much before about it, otherwise not so much.

Though I guess you could perhaps also enjoy the novel integration of a book with LLMs.

Extending. Won't extend again unless I have started

I might still read this. But I have not started. Thoughts on whether or should extend deadline or return capital?

It’s one of Paul Bloom’s favorite books of the last two years or so.

I skimmed it. It's okay, but I wasn't blown away by it. The main purpose of the book is to figure out who the GOAT economist is (honestly, I don't find this question to be all that interesting, especially because Tyler has to define the question in a rather convoluted way to prevent Adam Smith from being the obvious answer).
