Although some of the math stuff was over my head (or patience level), I felt like I understood a remarkable amount of what the authors had to say about the history and nature of infinity. This book blew my mind in several places and gives a nice and readable history of the people and ideas involved in studying the nature of the infinite, which is what you might expect from a guy who wrote a very readable book about the history and nature of zero.

a nicely written reminder of what I once learnt at university. adds a lot of history and human endeavour to the theorems which was interesting.

The book is a bit technical and the language used by authors make it even more difficult to understand. I enjoyed only the last chapter (set theory by Cantor and infinities involved). Overall an avoidable book.
