Two thumbs up for unanswered questions. Even without the sequel, this piece stands just fine on its own.
Personally, Digital, it's not my favorite style of writing, but it has its artistic purposes. It's like painting a monochromatic. You only have 3 tools to start with, but the work can still turn into a rainbow. And sparse-y angst isn't really my thing, but it doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. I agree that there are grammatical ways to achieve the same effect, but David took the road less travelled, and it seems to work for him. I find it a shame I can't get more in touch with this style of writing, but I'm glad others can.
