1,197 pages I'm going to have to read...

I have the feeling this book is about to become the new Geek Bible. Complexity theory meets computer programming. What's not to love?

That, and it's written by a certified genius, Stephen Wolfram, who among other contributions gave the world Mathematica and thereby bought himself two decades of independent research. Mr. Wolfram is not modest about what he believes he's accomplished, although he also knows enough to say that time will tell what his true place in the pantheon should be.

For a general overview of the buzz, see this NYTimes article.
