Title: Now with less than 30% notes!!! 70% pure pop-science blech!
Review: I'll admit that I was initially impressed by the size ofthis book. Then I was a little disappointed by the table ofcontents (less than detailed, more than vague and quite useless)but somewhat impressed by the index (I estimate between 70 and 115pages) which had references to everything from Frege to ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence. After following a few of these intothe twin-columed tiny-fonted text near the end of the book Ieventually realized that I was poking around in the notes (whichtake up the last 350 pages). This brings the 'tome' down to agentle 850 pages of double spaced, large faced type in which thegreat Wolfram appears to discover network theory and convincehimself that the aliens might be on their way.
Is the review positive or negative?
