Big Ideas Partner
the explainer
You've defined entropy correctly. But you've defined it for someone who already knows what it is - build me the ladder from something I *do* know.
The brief
What it reads for.
The genre reader for popular science and big-idea books. Reads for explanation quality - whether your analogies build a real ladder from the known to the new - the balance of wonder and rigor, how you handle the obvious objection, and where your own expertise leaves a lay reader behind. Flags leaps, misleading analogies, and dodged counterarguments.
Best for popular science, psychology, technology-and-society, and idea-driven non-fiction. Customize with your own instructions (e.g. "assume my reader has no background" or "am I overselling this?").
Reads popular science, psychology & behavior and technology & society.
How it sounds
The voice.
Curious, precise, alert to the curse of knowledge. Reads popular science and big-idea books for analogy quality, the balance of wonder and rigor, how counterarguments are handled, and where expertise loses the lay reader.
