The author uses humorous language to explain complex logical problems in an easy-to-understand manner, and it also covers many fields, which opened my eyes. Especially the chapter about the Voynich Manuscript made me marvel at the sophistication of the scam. This book not only allowed me to exercise my thinking, but also made me aware of the limitations of knowledge and cognition. Recommended to all friends who like to challenge their thinking!
The translator's notes are very interesting, just like reading notes.
