Is this really an appropriate use of arxiv? I thought it was for physics preprints. This might be a neat work, but it appears to be a 143 page blog post in a PDF (unless I missed the references section?)

This is in the arXiv section called “physics and society” which is specifically intended for high-quality popular physics book, among other things.

Good to know!

The text also available as a printed book, so I guess a pdf of it fits any reasonable definition of preprint.
