In short, it's a great repeatable read.

Imagine someone being able to write the ultimate book for our instant gratification society. Speed is all that counts and if you need something profound, you need it yesterday.

I only recently read a Terry Pratchett book and that was not by design, as I had lost an inopportune bet and the price was a tome that goes by the name 'MORT'.

Strange that I not only enjoyed but also chuckled along with an author that combines instructive insights into philosophy, physics, metaphysics and a whole horde of other deep stuff. All done in a throwaway, take out kind of style tailormade for the current hustle and bustle lifestyle of coffeeshops and reading in waiting rooms while texting dinner instructions, coordinating a board meeting, intentionally ignoring the seat occupied next to you and of course moaning at the assistant for delaying your jampacked donut day.

Bite size chunks of takeout wordplay that remain curiously rereadable. Instant gratification that can be repeated at leisure. In short, it's a great instantaneous read.

My fave quote from this reading sums up the endless quest to be moving on to the next 'big" thing. "People don't alter history any more than birds alter the sky, they just make brief patterns in it."
