Daniel Tammet - The Boy With The Incredible Brain [1/5]

I keep trying to finish Thinking in Numbers, but I keep getting distracted because there's one chapter about languages that makes me a bit nervous at the high potential for western romanticizing of indigenous cultures of south America. It bothers me that I don't know if he's correct, or if he just read something written by a European who was being obtuse about the nuances of the culture he was studying. (If you have knowledge in this area, let me knowwwwww~ it's getting on my nerves.)
There's a lot of (prettily written) speculation in the book in the non-autobiographical essays. For example, the author uses a maths textbook of the period to speculate on a Young Shakespeare's reaction to the introduction of zero, and how that influences his plays. It's quite clever. However, I wish it were clearer to the reader what is speculation and what is fact sometimes...
But perhaps the cleverness of many of the essays lies in the same phenomena that gives certain types of science fiction cleverness. By speculating deeply on the facts- be it the introduction of zero into western thought via Arabic countries, or the way our tissues and nerves respond to electricity even past our death (Shelley), or even extending the exploration of spy tech to their horrifying but obvious conclusions (Dick)- a realistic feeling possible future, or at least an emotionally impactful one, can be reached.
