Ghoulish Delight

I have no idea if it's any good, but God's Debris, by Scott Adams, author of Dilbert, is available for download in PDF format here (http://www.andrewsmcmeel.com/godsdebris/). Nothing illegal about this, I got this link from Scott Adams' newsletter. He's going on the theory that people will like it enough to subequently buy the hard copy.
Here's his synopsis of the book (which is not Dilbert, and not humor):
Imagine that you meet a very old man who—you eventually realize—knows literally everything. Imagine that he explains for you the great mysteries of life—quantum physics, evolution, God, gravity, light, psychic phenomenon, and probability—in a way so simple, so novel, and so compelling that it all fits together and makes perfect sense. What does it feel like to suddenly understand everything? God's Debris isn’t the final answer to the Big Questions. But it might be the most compelling vision of reality you will ever read. The thought experiment is this: Try to figure out what’s wrong with the old man’s explanation of reality. Share the book with your smart friends then discuss it later while enjoying a beverage.
