Huh?
Why are top-tier designers visualizing choose–your-own-adventure books?
Actually, only one guy is doing something he loves, as a hobby, and he gets to learn a lot of useful stuff at the same time.
I'd much rather this guy use his PhD in Computational Neuroscience to help my brain visualize code
So, how far do you think he'll get doing something he may have no passion for, for somebody like you?
Funny how because he's not a familiar tech name, everyone here assumes he's an upstart.
Funny how memory works. I don't think I've recalled my system for reading these books for years, perhaps more than a decade.

Yes, this is an impressive effort.
Edit:
Wow! I just found the digitized Choose Your Own Adventure book with jump history:
[1] Such as Joe Dever's wonderful Lone Wolf series. The republished versions available at projectaon.org --- and apparently back in print now --- are just as much fun as I remember.
