The Library

Anyone interested in cellular automata has probably heard of this book. I actually bought it… but not to read (it’s unreadable b/c Wolfram praises himself on every page). I bought it as an artifact because of its huge size (requiring a special binding) and its typesetting—which was also apparently innovative.

I always preferred Conway to Wolfram, but Wolfram does win on the OCD side. I was amused to read that Conway ended up exasperated with people’s enthusiasm for Game of Life. 

Careful with what you get famous for, I guess? 🤔
