I really liked how the author used examples and analogies from a wide spectrum of fields and disciplines (ranging from literature and history to physics and biology) to better portray the concept of universality. The establishment of a universal system in which all parties involved in the field acknowledge and adopt is arguably one of the most important elements of the advancement of the human race. It enables individuals from different corners of the world to communicate and collaborate with each other, solving problems that are sometimes for too difficult for just a handful of people that speak the same language.
