Once I got past my gripes about this author playing fast & loose with some of the scientific & engineering principles discussed in this books that I am a bit more familiar with than most people, I was able to really enjoy this book for what it is & boy howdy, did I ever! I love this author’s humor & wit + I got to learn a lot of things  that I didn’t already know about a wide breadth of topics particularly just how painstakingly slow the undirected development of civilization as we now it, was.
I mean, this guy wrote a chapter explaining just about every flavor of religion & philosophy solely in terms of giving high fives that I will probably use as a reference for the remainder of my life because it was that funny & memorable.
