Very creative. There's a lot of layers to peel. It's fun and thought provoking. 

This books demands your interaction with it. You can even play and research stuff post reading since there are many real and fictitious references. In fact, I took extensive referencing as a kind of mocking the academic community. But nonetheless, the book itself provokes many reviews and analysis making absurdity of it.

That's all I got. I'm not smart enough for deeper insight.
