Thanks, not sure I agree, but familiar with the format; might be wrong, but believe these are notable examples of such a format: https://www.stevefenton.co.uk/

Thanks, not sure I agree, but familiar with the format; might be wrong, but believe these are notable examples of such a format: https://www.stevefenton.co.uk/blog/2022/09/the-difference-between-the-phoenix-project-and-the-unicorn-project/#summary https://www.stevefenton.co.uk/blog/2022/09/the-difference-be... If you’re aware of other notable examples, would be interested in links to them. As for my guess, it’s at a best seller format, it’s 100s of tiny chapters, which makes the readers feel like they’re rapidly discovering new information.

Appears writing style you’re referring to might be called “Quest-based technical narrative” — where the author mixes in a topical plot to provide context and maintain read interest. While I am unable to recall the name of the book, recall a book on chaining hacking exploits that walks through a a fictional story while weaving in technical details. Another example would be this book: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Why%27s_(poignant)_Guide_to_Ruby https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Why%27s_(poignant)_Guide_to_Ruby
