I had high hopes for this and think it was a decent exposition on the premise. It wasn't as groundbreaking as I had hoped, though. I think I had expected it to be more directed at scientists but the intended audience was laypeople. I'll definitely keep an eye out for more books by Hutchinson nonetheless.

I didn't necessarily care for the question ans answer format that the author chose to use, I found that it tended to distract me from what he had to say. It also seemed to me to cause some redundancy, but that might just have been an incorrect perception on my part. Overall I didn't see anything in this book that was unexpected, and not shared in other works that I would choose to read first if given the opportunity.
