My gut tells that deep learning works because of a similar underlying mathematics. I have absolutely no mathematical proof. But then again there is no cost to trusting my hunch…except maybe a few karma points if someone decides my opinion is worth being upset over. I mean no matter how wrong I might be, nobody is going to die because of it. Anyway, I think it is an important book and most of the negativity around it is because people feel threatened by Wolfram. Successful as a scientist, scholar, software developer, startup founder, and business executive. YMMV.
