Some interesting parts, but I was mostly just skimming by the end. Part of why it didn't keep my attention well was because I was expecting it to be about economics. Instead, it's mostly about autism. If you're prepared for the fact that the entire theme of the book is the cognitive strengths of the autistic way of thinking, you may be able to follow it better than I was.

The author draws some interesting conclusions about society and how we collectively view austim but the "a ha" monents are too far between. The topic anc comlexity in which the points were presented were lost on me. I read the first half of the book and sped through the second half, hoping for inspirational nuggets to appear to renew my interest. The author is intelligent but the subject matter and clarity of the points made were lost on this reader. I hope others have better luck with finding true value in the messages presented by the author.
