Interesting story and overall metaphor, beautifully written sentences here and there, but generally overbloated and full of repetitions. Could have easily done with at least 200 pages less.

The book is well written and the theories presented are very interesting, however, the connections between them at times seem a bit far-fatched.

Few of the stories were quite interesting (Lulu, Land of Big Numbers, Gubeikou Spirit) but the rest ended abruptly, and it felt like an style which I could not really understand or get myself to like.

Nice food for thoughts, with some good nuggets of inspiration and a very readable style, but also quite shallow and too spread out in terms of covered topics.
