Title: The emergence of self-indulgence
Product review: This was a disappointing book in several ways. Most significantly, the main concept - emergence instead of reductionism - was poorly explained. The anecdotes, ostensibly to illustrate scientific points for the sake of the unscientific reader, usually obscured what they were intended to clarify. Often they seemed little more than self-indulgent stories seeking a place to park themselves. The rapid accounts of various physical and biological items were of no use to a reader who already knew them, and were simply sleight-of-hand to one who didn't. The disresepect for the reader was truly insulting.
