Any book worth reading today is better understood as a twenty page white paper or series of articles. This allows you to consume far more information about a wider array of subjects in less time.
I understand that the explanatory power of long text might better suit the ‘average person’ but that rarely if ever applies to anything current, novel, innovative, or revolutionary consumable by those with an existing body of knowledge.
The amout of ‘fluff’ in all but a few books is absurd and exists exclusively to justify the book price.
