      Describes some interesting problems to think about but doesn't really explain anything, posit anything or make any predictions and I just can't stand the goofy writing style. It doesn't have to be as dry as an encyclopedic entry but please, you sound like a stoner. I guess it's OK for an introduction but it's not a glowing endorsement of the field as anything remotely useful or enlightening.
