I know everyone has been eagerly awaiting Stephen Wolfram's new book "A
New Kind of Science". Here's a pre-release review.

[Walter]
Wolfram acts like he never heard of Stuart Kauffman's "Origins of Order"
or "At Home in the Universe". Or the Boolean underpinnings of modern
complexity theory.

1200 pages of NON-peer reviewed theory!! I'll pass and wait for the
Cliff notes.

Here's a pre-release review:
