That French is merely nowadays journalish style. Beststellers are often written in it. Cross that with a translation à la va-vite and you've got this article. It reminds me French technical articles and computer books. The beau style is merely dying since the beginning of the XVIIIth century. Blame the bourgeois.
Further reading : Des causes de la corruption du goust by Madame Dacier -- written during the XVIIth century, primarily against a wrongheaded translation of Homer.
