Coding with Fountain Pens

The recent genesis post reminded me of Stephen Wolfram’s A New Kind of Science, and prompted me to check its Amazon listing.  I thought there must be many people who never read it, and would now be trying to sell it used.  Sure enough, there’s more than 100 copies available for $11 and up.

However I also have wondered how much that book was a marketing campaign versus an important work.  Based on some of the more rigorous reviews, I’m now pretty confident the work is going to fade into obscurity.  Or I guess it already did, until I brought it up again.
