Song delivers a pointed argument for Bitcoin. At times glib, Song's writing is accessible and informed. He breaks down key concepts well enough for beginners to gain a foothold, while embedding enough insight and technicality to engage the more well-versed.

The structure is reminiscent of a collection of essays or short stories and lends the book a lighter, quicker feel. It is easy to read in small portions, out of order, or binge depending on personal style and time constraints.

As an educator, this would be an interesting book to include in a high school classroom library or college course. The brevity and clarity of the chapters could also make for a good short reading/writing lesson and I'd wager that it will catch the (notoriously elusive) attention of adolescent students.
