If you want a second opinion, Cosma Shalizi reviews A New Kind of Science by Stephen Wolfram:

Subtitle: "A Rare Blend of Monster Raving Egomania and Utter Batshit Insanity."

This is a classic that everyone should read, utterly destroying a shameless self-promoter gifted with some intelligence and a grasp of jargon.

Thanks for the link. I found the article to be very informative. Can't say the same thing about the original Wolfram article.

Not so kind, but I loved to read that!! Thanks!

I'll definitely buy http://www.amazon.com/The-End-Science-Knowledge-Scientific/d... as well, the books he recommends w.r.t. Prigogine.

Serendipity. This morning, in another context, I learned for the first time about E.T. Jaynes' work and downloaded a copy of his unfinished tome. And now, this afternoon, in Shalizi's review, I again see it honorably mentioned. Thanks for this link.

This more of a personal attack than a thoughtful review. No content.
