I read it a few years ago. It was really hard work to get through, and also quite a lot of fun - I loved how playful it was. I’ll definitely re-read it some day.

I wouldn’t say it changed any of my beliefs, but I’m not sure that was the intention . It presented an idea - a weird, wonderful, complex idea - but without any evidence to back it up.

For what it’s worth, I think there’s a subreddit which is devoted to the book, and I seem to recall they do a sort of ongoing book club for it.
