Rave review in the Sunday Times, London. You can click on the link to read the first part, but the rest is behind a paywall. My favorite quotes: Manil Suri’s march through maths is brimming with entertaining and yet discombobulating thoughts.…he succeeds in making slippery ideas easy to grasp — including the way the vast complexity that springs from simple mathematical rules can explain intelligence and life itself. The proudly innumerate might still choose to ignore all this, but the odds are they wouldn’t be here without it.”
