I found that the philosophical pages and the repetitive systems were like rather fun labyrinths were the reader had to learn how to refute the sophisms exposed.
But it was quite tedious. It seems to me on one hand that Choderlos de Laclos did better at painting libertinism, and on the other hand that Voltaire's Candide was more skillful at painting humans as (I oppose the thesis !) fundamentally evil.

There is a clear didactic effort and the journey is enjoyable, but in my opinion it did not deliver remarquably in making me understand the nature of quantum entanglement, the ingeniosity in Bell's inequalities, nor the consequences of their violation for the advancement of non-locality.
