Review of Of Zots and Xoodles
[Following is a volunteer review of "Of Zots and Xoodles" by Zarqnon the Embarrassed.]
In his humorous yet very scientific book Of Zots and Xoodles, Zarqnon the Embarrassed explores what existed before the universe. What are the practical and philosophical issues that the emergence of such an anomaly raises? The novel is about how someone makes a universe, and the Zots and the Xoodles are what he employs to do it, as one can infer from careful reading. Quantum mechanics, mathematics, logic, and a lighthearted use of language all play a significant role in what transpires.
As "the committee" watches in disbelief, Master Theodil performs his creation in front of them. The committee responds to each action or stage with comments, inquiries, and suggestions for easier fixes, much like the chorus in a Greek tragedy. The announcer, Internuncio, enters. Every new creation by Theodil is announced by him. They are referred to as "Zots" because of how they appear to be dots: "Theodil has created Zots." The Zots develop into light, the "trimary", Xoodle, the Spungic ("for it has absorbed all our patience"), matter, gravity, variable gravity, time, and the beginning. The Xoodles get their name from the noodles they resemble.
I think you should read this book gradually rather than skimming it as you would any other book. The book becomes more enjoyable the more you read and comprehend it. The unexpectedness of the subject is mirrored in the book's style. For the sole sake of rhyme and extravagance, Zarqnon the Embarrassed invents a brand new tongue.
This 47-page book was enjoyable to read, and it entertained my thoughts on the topic of creation. It tackles the topic of creation's potential methods with humor. In this way, the author highlights the fallacy of the human mind in its attempts to understand or interrogate the Creator.
I truly enjoyed this narrative about creation's ability to provoke thought. The author creates an intriguing, compelling story with thoughts beyond its surface-level presentation by drawing on his experiences and extensive understanding of IT and philosophy. I wholeheartedly endorse this for those who enjoy reflecting on important topics.
There is nothing about this book that I detest; it was flawlessly written and performed. I salute the editor.
There were no glaring grammatical mistakes in the book, and I think the editing is excellent. Some of the words used at the beginning were difficult for me to understand. Later on, though, I started to get some of the concept. As a result, I give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
