Hype. Really enjoyed all of buckys detailed diagrams. The thought process was logical. The tetrahedral accounting was hype. On tetrahedral mensuration was crazy to think about substituting isotropic vector matrix for normal XYZ. Clear thought process on how his sphere packing studies led him to generalize a formula for polyhedral numbers. The book is phenomenal I haven't read the second but I am sure he won't disappoint. It's worth the read for the definition of synergy alone. If you like complex geometrical paradigm analysis then first go outside and touch some grass and second read this book.
