The Age of Wire and String by Ben Marcus

3.0

Walks a thin line between meaning and non-sense. When it veers too far to either side of that line it becomes uninteresting, but the skill involved at staying on that line is impressive. It takes considerable skill to pull that off. There are some passages that make just enough sense (or from which I am able to make just enough sense) to blow my mind. But the other 99% leaves me not even scratching my head, since I know that wouldn't help.

The closest comparison, in terms of the blend of comprehensible and incomprehensible, is the so-called design specifications I get at my job and from which I'm supposed to create software.
