Stephen Wolfram

Besides being terrible about updating this site the past few months, I've also been terrible about reading (unless you count math textbooks and wikipedia, which I do). As a result, I've got a terrible backlog of chickenscratch to take in, and near the top of that list is Stephen Wolframs cellular automata-inspired book, A New Kind of Science. I got linked to a 2003 review in Science News today from 3 quarks daily, and it got me salivating all over again. It's definately on my summer to do list, for sure.

I have a composer friend who said that book really influenced his compositional style. Everyone says it's like godel escher bach.
