I read it and it made me pretty upset... Wallace clearly got way out over his skis and simply shouldn't have been writing about the topic. There were way too many moments interspersed throughout the book where it was obvious that he didn't understand what he was talking about or trying to prove. I think one of the key lessons to be learned from the study of mathematics is intellectual honestly and humility. It felt like Wallace hadn't learnt that lesson and had something to... ahem... prove?
