From the author's writing style and stated opinions in this book, he appears to be an extraordinarily unpleasant person. Writing in an oracular style, as if he alone is an intelligent person and nearly everyone else an idiot, he comes across as an egomaniac who is prickly and scornful.
He also makes a lot of unexplained personal jabs at certain prominent people, as with "Hillary Monsanto," which is apparently meant to refer to Hillary Clinton.
The book is quite difficult to understand, even though I hold a Ph.D. and am used to reading challenging material. I did take away a few useful points from the book, but the overriding impression was that reading the book was extremely distasteful. You may have a stronger constitution than I have, or you may appreciate someone who so desperately wants to express his superiority.
