My favourite example of it is Ben Grosser’s edit of Andreeson Horowitz’s “Techno-optimist Manifesto”. It takes something gross and makes something beautiful out of it, by distilling Horowitz’s masturbatory prose into something more honest. It’s a long document, but it’s a refreshingly speedy read, what with entire pages being blacked out.
