New essay distilling one strand of some ongoing work
I argue that books lack a functioning model of how people learn—instead, they're (accidentally, invisibly) built around a model that's plainly false. Plus some early models for what to do about it.https://andymatuschak.org/books/

Convincing essay! It reminded me of “Clear and Simple as the Truth”, a wonderful book on the unstated discursive assumptions of expositional prose, and of “The Little Lisper”, a Scheme tutorial written in an interactive dialog style. (You probably know them already.)

The latter is a favorite but the former is new to me; looking forward to reading! Thank you.
