A good goal for writers in the digital age is to be as incompressible as possible. This is related to, but not the same as, seeking density. 100 words that can only be compressed down to 90 by most reader is better than 50,000 which can be reduced to 1 tweet by most readers

Compressing does not lead to incompressibilty though. If you write a very good summary of a book it could still be further summarized as “like that other summary except with this 1 extra point”. Incompressibility requires differentiation by adding integral original elements.
