Helpful Score: 3

While many of the historical and scientific details given were truly fascinating, the central argument within the book was generally weakly supported, relying too much on anecdotal accounts, which took away from the reading experience. Still, I would consider these elements to have made it well worth the read. It would have been a far better book geared in a different direction. Yet, it does provide the reader with a great deal to think about and consider. I learned a lot and also reassessed some aspects of my connected life after reading the book, which I suppose is a rather large point of success. Overall, I came away better for having read it, even as I felt much of it could have been left behind or better crafted. I would recommend it, as there is still a certain stroke of genius there.
