- TriinT 17y agoI read the book. I would call it a New Kinds of Recreational Puzzles (except that they're not THAT new). It's interesting, but it's not Science. And Wolfram could try to be humble once in a while. And he could also try to give credit where credit is due. He's a very smart man, but he's not the only one. And if he's gonna stand on the shoulders of giants, the least he could do is acknowledge the contributions these giants gave.

I don't deem myself competent to judge Wolfram's arguments or his critics' arguments, but I did think the lack of scholarly citation of prior literature was more than a little off-putting.
