This is the best exposition about infinities I have ever read. Great stuff!
I skipped the hyperreals and I paid particular attention to applications (e.g., Riemann sphere). The biggest benefit I got from the exposition (that I know about) is the concept of the set of the computable reals and how its cardinality compares to the integers and the reals. That helped me increase my understanding of computability.
