The article is an excerpt from a new book. However, this is only made clear at the very end of the article.

So, once more, I'm led to read an advertisement for somebody's book under the guise of well, something that's not an advertisement.

..It gives me an idea for a film script, where the protagonist has a chance encounter with an attractive person, goes through a series of mishaps and life-changing adventures that bond them together, then at the end finds out that it's all been sponsored by ACME Corps to sell him toothpaste.

not a film script, and no advertising, but you may enjoy "if on a winter's night a traveler"[0].

Yeah that's on my to-read list. When I'm dead, I'll read ten thousand books a day.
