I really like the idea of the Primer but the book also basically has as a theme that strong AI is impossible, which was less cool.
I felt that book was half "yep, I can see things going that way, interesting" and half "no, stop, things don't work that way."

Have you read The Jungle Books, which it was (in some ways) styled after? I found Kipling's significantly better.
