That is, people will agree with parts of it and disagree with other parts of it. He brings up interesting points, both within mathematics and not. I disagree with him on some of those points. More often I think the issue is more complicated then he indicates. However, the point of the book is to get you to think about things. At this it succeeds. It often does so in satirical ways which may seem harsh; however, he is trying to shake us out of our complacency. I hope he succeeds. The book was written to get people to think and talk about the issues raised. Hence what’s the best way to review it is to talk to the author. After the first section of this review DudeWhats in this Book? I have three sections that ask for (and get) the author’s response: DudePlease Expand on That, DudeDo you Really Think That?, and DudeThat comment was so Jiggy that I want to, like, add to it.
