The UPS guy showed up with my copy of Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science this morning. Wowser! It is a beautifully crafted book, rich in diagrams. One of the articles I read said that it costs them just to publish the book, about 3-5 times more than most books in the same price range. As to the contents, well, I think it will take some time just to read it, much less getting my mind wrapped around it. If you prefer to let others do your reading/opinioning then I'm sure there's a pile-o-them to choose from. I wouldn't hold out for a movie version though. ":^)

Also in the care package: Moby 18 and PJ Harvey. PJ is cranking right now...
