I read it three months ago, at age 37, shortly after completing a course on computation theory (currently working on a PhD in CS). It was one of those books that somehow stole entire days from me, simply because I couldn’t put it down... along the way I also spent a lot of time browsing Wikipedia and Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entries for a more rigorous understanding of Godel’s contributions.
I’d agree that it feels like it was intended for a more youthful audience, but I doubt I would have made all of the mental connections that I did without the life experience and broader knowledge of my 30s.
