It's an extremely deep topic. I have a Ph.D. in number theory (Frank Calegari was one of my classmates), so maybe that's why the article was so readable to me. Also, fortunately, it's been known for a long long time that elliptic curves with complex multiplication arise from automorphic forms, since their Galois representations are relatively easy to understand compared to general elliptic curves.
