Quite comprehensive for being so thin, with the most pressing issues being presented. I would have liked a more neutral approach perhaps, where the author didn't defend notions. Basically a fully neutral overview with arguments and counterarguments that let the reader make up his mind on his own. But all in all, a very good introduction into this massively important topic.
