challenging

i thoroughly enjoyed this. the theme, the writing style, the emotions that come with reading it, all of it
the way benjamín paints the madness of these great thinkers is truly spectacular, this was my first book from him, but after this i am eager to dive into any of his pieces

Just as entertaining as I was hoping it would be but... the final section about how Deepmind beat Go was a let down just because it's been extensively covered already, including a really good film, so I didn't get much from that.
