I really enjoy Hannah Fry's work online but had never actually read any of her books before. This works quite well as an introduction too a writer since it's so short and a positive introduction it is.
It's got a good amount of information crammed in without feeling dense. The humour is on point and gave me a few chuckles along the way. The mathematical side of it is super accessible, typically I would want more in-depth analysis in a book like this, but given I had it as an audiobook I was relieved to not listen to formulas. I would also say that a deep analysis would not fit well in this book so the approach taken is good.
Overall it was a funny short listen, I learned one or two things as well.
