New Kind of Science Book
Though it’s gotten some press, particularly in techy circles, after a very negative review from a friend I decided to pass on Wolfram’s new book, A New Kind of Science. I appreciated this review of the book, though, which outlines the main arguments in what seems to be a fair manner while still pointing out the book’s significant flaws, not the least of which, to me, is the observation that thi 1200 page tome doesn’t include a bibliography.
