This was supposed to be satire, but didn't turn out to be good - at all. The satire is based on a biography of Nietzsche. It discussed his notes, his letters to his peers and other philosophers, and how this influenced and shaped his thought. There was also bits on his personal life.
Imagine if a Nietzsche was born in today's age. He would still read books, but it seems rather likely that he would also spend time on places of the internet. Instead of letters to people he knows in real-life, he could be having a lot of exchanges on message boards, could've read certain blogs, etc.
Philosophers make more sense in a historical context when we know what kind of ideas were there at the time. In case of the internet age, a lot of those ideas might be found online. That's the gist of this. That future thinkers are shaped outside of meatspace.

>You don't need all this shit to understand him.
Agreed, but you'll understand better where his ideas come from.
If Nietzsche was born in another epoch his philosophy could perhaps be somewhat similar simply due to his personality, but the rest of it would be shaped by experience and the cultural environment. So yes I can agree with this:
>It only gives additional context which is nice but not necessary.
