Is Math Real? by Eugenia Cheng
7.5 out of 10Close to being a great book.
It is a friendly, soft-hearted appeal to non-math types. Yet the author has a bravely defiant curiosity to explore the intangible mathematical world. Oddly, the writing is sprinkled with throwaway, biased (sometimes falsifiable), demagogic social commentary. Perhaps something was lost in translation between the American version I read and the original British version.
