Just read page one and two and I already LOVE the conversational style of writing from the author. Who the hell decided we should write textbooks in such a dry and formal way (this has been my experience). Maybe the textbooks fail me because the author is not able to translate their excitement into text (I have ADD, so there's that too)? Of course it's also due the nature of the copyright/IP system, together with the hierarchies inherent to capitalism. The competition between workers selling their labor works to the advantage of employers/capitalists.

Anyway, learning is basically just a long conversation where we learn about the feedback loops about whatever concept or system we are trying to understand and interact with. For me this author's style (and others like him) works a million times better to do that in an intuitive way.
