What people on Hacker News said
The language he uses to construct his sentences is like none other I have ever read. It's a vivid mix of nature writing and the best poetry. The text is so dense, the sentences are so packed with words bringing life to action--there really is no reading experience I can compare this to.
Intense, spiritual, like some sort of modern Moby Dick, but sparse, focused, elemental.
