> Adaption of Superman from a "rationalist" perspective.

This was pretty good! It's free to [read online](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10360716/1/The-Metropolitan-Man), listen to [as a podcast](https://hpmorpodcast.com/?page_id=1705) or [download an EPUB version](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8K0-Hahmqk3TDMxTkxPWkJEMjg/edit?usp=sharing) (which is what I did).

I read this after being recommended it on the [redacted](https://ollybritton.com/404) podcast, specifically [episode 22](https://www.podtangent.com/e/022-6-books-you-need-to-read-in-2020/) and the story is about Lex Luther trying to grapple with Superman, who he considers an existential risk.
