The book was able to really captivate me and it was difficult to put down. The approach to tell the story of someones life only through many different outside perspectives was interesting.
The last part was really boring tho. The story about AlphaGo took all the momentum out of the story. It was also just really uninteresting. I have read the other book of the author as well and all the stories are shorter, so this couldn't have been the problem, why this part was so uninspired.
BUT definitely this shouldn't stop you from picking up this otherwise fantastic book.
