The happy adventurer skips along through the thicket of representations, lured ever deeper by the clarity of orbits, and suddenly the <em>yoga of weights</em> opens a trap-door down down down into the madness of Grothendieck, stealthily concealed in every corner of algebraic geometry by Deligne and his cohorts from IHES. BEWARE! The Hodge Conjecture can be yours, they say, and all you have to do is sacrifice your sanity and first-born child! Whee! Gack! Hoo hoo! This book review is a trap!

BEWARE!

The Hodge Conjecture can be yours, they say, and all you have to do is sacrifice your sanity and first-born child!

Whee! Gack! Hoo hoo!
