A Girl Corrupted by the Internet is the Summoned Hero?!

"My family name is Yugano. My given name is Yuuki. I have no redeeming qualities." So begins this story of a girl corrupted by the Internet, and then summoned to another world. She's jaded from having already read many stories like that - but will that prepare her for what awaits in this world? Of course not! But she's going to plunge ahead anyway, and not slow down for anything!

Eliezer Yudkowsky is the author of and (formerly the). He is a decision theorist specializing in self-reference and reflection, a fact which unstoppably infects his writing no matter how frivolous.

Yudkowsky thought about trying to publish this book anonymously, as an alleged translation of a Japanese light novel whose original nobody would ever be able to find. He gave up when he realized he couldn't possibly stop people from knowing that it was him.

The total length of this story is 20,000 words. Sample chapters 1-4 of 13 may be found at: http://www.yudkowsky.net/other/fiction/girl-intercorrupted/
