What people on Hacker News said
This is the real thing - a very useful book that cuts through the annoying prescriptive crap. Highly recommended.
I think that Style: Towards Clarity and Grace is a good follow-up.
If you liked William Zinsser's "On Writing Well", give Joseph M. William's "Style: Toward Clarity and Grace" a read.
If you liked that, I heartily recommend "Style: Toward Clarity and Grace" by Williams.
