2.0

started reading this so I could potentially write my BA thesis on it. what a waste of my precious time. 

biggest anti-climax I've ever read. the first 70% is interesting enough, but the final couple of chapters make no sense at all. what a waste of my time and waste of potential. a sad case of great idea, poor execution.
