Wolfram noted, seemingly ad-nauseum (it felt like every other page - more often than the Mathematica plug) - how the ideas he was presenting weren't original. The sheer quantity of referenced footnotes in the back of the book, scattered all over the text, bears that out as well. Seriously - it was one thing that stood out when I read it, because I was always flipping to the back trying to read the footnotes, it became apparent that to do so was going to make reading the book take several times longer for me (I don't have that many years to dedicate to reading a book).
