Be warned: This book is not really about the origin, nature, or consequences of highly improbable events, about which you will learn little to nothing by reading it. It is a meandering, self-indulgent ramble through a landscape of truly interesting work that the author makes very little effort to explain. The book is really about one thing and one thing only: the author himself, as self-styled iconoclast. I want my 5 hours back.
