I got the book out and started to read it. But I found it incredibly dense and practically useless. It told me nothing. I came out the other end with no clarity whatever. Just a whole pile of self-referential jargon I couldn't build. No information gained. Maybe in time it'll become more meaningful and useful. It changed nothing. I expected a whole lot more.
It was kind of like Finnegan's Wake. You can read it or have a gin and tonic and hit yourself over the head with it. The result is pretty much the same.
