reader's digest
Abbreviated article compilation
Reader's Digest is a magazine founded in 1922, known for condensing articles and books into shorter, accessible versions.
The name has become shorthand for any simplified or abbreviated version of something: Give me the Reader's Digest version of what happened.
The phrase often implies leaving out details in favor of the main points.
