Today was a good day because I could (in my imagination) run up to the door yelling, "My tome is here! My tome is here!" My copy of "A New Kind of Science" arrived today. This review on Slashdot brought it to my attention. My usual reaction to self-important science-that-is-not-science would be to dismiss it, but something about Wolfram's bio and his wunderkind cred won me over. It'll be interesting as an artifact, if nothing else. I ordered it from Amazon because it was convenient, sue me.
