New Book by Stephen Wolfram: Combinators

His writing is dominated by the I pronoun, and he keeps creating these complex sentences just to make sure it is clear that it was him who thought about that, and he concluded it, and it is his contribution, only he saw the connection, etc.

IMO this is distracting from the ideas themselves, for what they're worth.

As fun as the puzzles and whimsical framing are in the latter book, I have been looking for a more straightforward book to suggest to people learning about combinators. The table of contents is intriguing, but I doubt this will be the concise introduction I'm looking for.
