Not really the book I expected it to be. It's dry, it focuses on entirely different things than I would've focused on if I were discussing the same topics, I didn't like the author's personal opinions all that much, and for that matter, I still have no idea even after reading this book that I should have any confidence in him. What has he done? He's a teacher in some Austrian school. Apparently that's all that he's accomplished in his life. Call me odd, but I want something more than that before I'm ready to give any weight to his own, personal, not-founded-upon-facts opinions on things like AI, existence of ETI, etc.
