Rudy Rucker, though often known for his science fiction, has compiled an impressive entertainment/education type book about the nature of infinity. It offers the predominant views on the subject with explanations for why they are accepted in such a way. There is significant focus on the understanding of infinities and formal systems that use infinities. Though parts of the book are boring, I found areas of my own thought about infinite that were in need of correction.
