The future of nonfiction writing
Â
Misc thoughts
- I find it absolutely obnoxious that authors feel compelled to stretch out their ideas to 300pp. My LSAT guide is widely revered even though it is probably only about 10pp.

- I should write up a list of rules for writing instructions for humans in the format of a very-high-level programming language...
- I should create a syntax checker for that language...
- Writing in the future will be very well-structured.
- You'll be able to browse the higher-level ideas in the book in just a few pages.
- You'll be able to dive more deeply into those sections of the book that you're more interested in.
- You'll be able to easily skip over those parts of the book that you're already familiar with or not interested in.
