5.0

The ideas in the book are incredible - from theology to game theory - on an international scale.  But I found the book a slog. 

At the same time I rarely finish a book that’s laborious, but my thoughts would go back to it and I had to find out what was happening. 

The ending was super fast - and the climax I hadn’t predicted. Which is always fun
