Every student of the sciences, arts and philosophy should appreciate and benefit from Berlinsky's work - not just for its conclusions, but also for its unanswered questions. Humans tend to strive for knowledge or enlightenment up to a point, then set aside their thirst in favour of more secure checkpoints. Berlinsky storms ahead, producing insights and revelations that not only entertain, but should inspire us to awaken from our intellectual slumber and give us the courage to sally forth once more and conquer the intertwining failings of ignorance and disinformation.

On the wonderful PBS Kids math show called "Odd Squad", there's a character named Obfusco, whose shtick is ostensibly that he speaks in "word problems" but whose main characteristic is really that he is always using similes and metaphors that are bizarre, opaque, or meaningless.

As I read Berlinski's first essay in this collection, I was reminded that he and Obfusco are blood brothers, and you have to be willing to overlook this quirk if you're going to get anything out of his writings.
