If you're 14 years old and want to be a pretentious pseudo-intellectual autist, it certainly is.

Yep. Read at 16 y.o. never looked back. Funny though, the Philosophy Majors thinks that's impressive, but really the book is very basic when it comes to a mathematical understanding.

It's kinda neat, but also very lengthy. If you major in maths/CS expect that you've heard 98% of the stuff already. It's not a great book, but I also don't regret reading it. Maybe it was more impressive in 1979.

The 14y/o is you.

It's a fun read but pretty longwinding.

So what is it even about?
