If you were serious, you might want to carry the thought a little

No; no, it's really not. (Cue Gene.)

Depends on the box inside which you're fiddling the concept.

If you're putting infinity in a box, you may be doin it rong.

If you have the level of experience your statements here seem to indicate
with the various infinities, I'll recommend Rudy Rucker's _Infinity and the
Mind_. (He's even an SF author.)

Is it an entertaining SF book?

Worse; it's an entertaining math book. With occasional cartoons.
