I read that book. It was fascinating but as I remember it one of the premises was that pulling one's attention away from an article being read to click on a hyperlink was disruptive to one's brain and ultimately counterproductive to assimilating the information in the original article. I actually disagree with that idea for my own comprehension of an idea or thesis. For example, I had never heard of "Energy Lysenkoism" so when I stopped to click on the link & read about it & fully digest it I believe I had a better understanding of the concept as well as how it applied to the Matt & Emily's post. Sorry about the long explanation but I have been thinking about that for many years and I finally had the chance to tell someone my experience. Haha.
There is a book that while reading it, you will have to put it down to research the reference he is making - I don't care how well read you are in Western culture. Dawn to Decadence by Jacques Barzun.
That is happening to me now with Rand Paul's book, "Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up" (Oct. 2023). Between the scientific papers/articles & the political stories/articles I am just about in the middle of the book. Terrific read - tho it makes me so mad that those 5-6 'Fauci n Friends' scientists/doctors - bamboozled the entire world about COVID. So many ppl couldn't say good bye to loved ones because they couldn't visit them... don't get me started.
