This book has essays ranging from physics to mathematics to analytical philosophy. Overall, I enjoyed it; some essays were great and some weren‘t. The essays on Marcus/Kripke‘s rigid designators and on the Reimann Zeta Function were highlights.

I think about anecdotes from this book on a nearly daily bases. In the first essay Einstein supports my general sense of the nature of time, and throughout the rest of the book math becomes an increasingly assessable / intriguing concept to even my lit-centric brain. Highly recommend
