This is just the style of modern story writing. Words, a lot of words. Just too many of them. I have tried to read such stories and most of the time there are just words and not much substance.
- starpilot 7y agoIt's amazing how we used to read entire stacks of bound leaves of paper. Some contained dozens of events and interwoven narratives. I don't have time for that.
- lobotryas 7y agoThere’s a difference between reading for pleasure and for extracting some information. Some people might read this article for pleasure and that’s fine, but for most they just want the bare facts. An executive summary, if you will, because we have a lot more information vying for our attention than at any previous moment in history.
- eveningcoffee 7y agoI do not disagree with you but most of the time there is just some silly narrative, too many irrelevant details that do not add to the story. This story is actually not bad at all because it is well backed with interesting information.
