I'm sure it's a great book :).
I find good popular books on higher mathematics difficult to come by. A nice exception is the trilogy written by Avner Ash and Robert Groß:
Elliptic Tales, Fearless Symmetry and Summing it up (in my order of preference)
Terence Tao: Just a brief announcement that I have been working with Quanta Books to publish a short book in popular mathematics entitled “Six Math Essentials“, which will cover six of the fundamental concepts in mathematics.
Is this Terry's 17th book?
