Title: Save the trees!
Review: This is really bad...I can only agree with reviewers who gaveone star to this book. There is nothing new here, only a lotof self-praise and some pretty pictures showing the power ofMathematica. The New Kind of Science? That's laughable....I am not an expert in cellular automata (I'm a physicist),but it is abundantly clear that there is no breakthrough here.Wolfy tries to show that "his" ideas explain a spectacularly widerange of phenomena, but offers no proof or even evidencewhatsoever.The fact that he doesn't have any references in this massive workis even more disturbing. Anyone trained in science is taught,as early as high-school, that it is crucial to reference andacknowledge other people's work.It's a waste of talent - cursory reading of notes in the secondpart of the book hints at the author's vast knowledge of CS, math, physics.Does Wolfy himself really believe this book will change the way science is done?
Is the review positive or negative?
