Opis produktu
Recenzja
"Get inside the head of one of our era's most creative and influential minds as he explores everything from communicating with extraterrestrial life to finding the fundamental underpinnings of reality. Adventures of a Computational Explorer is a deep and delightful intellectual odyssey." -- Briane Greene, Bestselling Author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos "Editorial Review"
"Stephen Wolfram has the most brilliant computational mind I have ever encountered. His endless curiosity, breadth of knowledge, and attention to detail are truly astonishing. Adventures is a wild ride down the Rabbit Hole." -- Nova Spivack, Chairman, Arch Mission Foundation "Editorial Review"
"Stephen Wolfram is a genius. But that's not the most uncommon of his attributes. He is fiercely and fully independent, in every possible sense of the word. Wolfram does everything, literally everything, on his own terms." -- Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Bestselling Author of The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness "Editorial Review"
"Stephen Wolfram is one of the remarkable scientists and technologists of our time, a physicist who went deep into computing as a fundamental way to understand our universe. In Adventures of a Computational Explorer,
he shares episodes of his journey, written in his characteristically direct and engaging style." -- Nathan Myhrvold, Founder and CEO of Intellectual Ventures "Editorial Review"
"This tour of Stephen Wolfram's mind is a jungle journey where ferocious new ideas jump out at you, then charm you. Read it in batches, because the idea density is high and pleasure long." -- Gregory Benford, Author of Nebula Award-Winning Timescape "Editorial Review"
Opis z tylnej okładki książki
impressive range of subjects. In this lively book of essays, Wolfram takes
the reader along on some of his most surprising and engaging intellectual
adventures.
From science consulting for a Hollywood movie, solving problems of
AI ethics, hunting for the source of an unusual polyhedron, communicating
with extraterrestrials, to finding the fundamental theory of physics and
exploring the digits of pi, Adventures of a Computational Explorer captures
the infectious energy and curiosity of one of the great pioneers of the
computational world.

I was pleased about the amazon services. Keep up the good job!
Global satellite communication links can be solved for favorable frequencies, as they were at the 1999 to 2018 Ka band satellite conferences. Wolfram has also been valuable for communication links to hypersonic vehicles.
This book, however, seems an autofellating paean to how great he thinks he is. Any chapter you may care to read has a reference to his previous book "A New Kind of Science", which he clearly seems to see as his opus magnum that "several physicists at a conference have read" (disclosure: I'm a mathematician whose read the book). He'll mention frequently that he was consulted for some thing or another to do a thing which he (in essence) thinks is stupid but he'll deign to comment on or think about in reply.
Are there good ideas in the book? Um... I guess. It's sometimes difficult to expurgate the self-aggrandizement to figure out what he's trying to say beyond "Cellular automata come in, cellular automata go out; you can't explain that".
I would recommend this book only to the very sycophantic, or to the very patient (for whom this will a much shorter book). To be honest, though, I think any of these would have been better off posted to a personal blog rather than a 30USD hardcover book.
He writes competently enough. Some of the diagrams and pictures are related to the surrounding text while others are simply drawings presented as relevant without evidence or context. I'm almost certain it was typeset in Mathematica rather than LaTeX; the dogfood is fine and to be expected from him.
I will freely admit that there were some articles I... I just couldn't. I just could not even. Not because anything was too terribly difficult to understand as a layman, but I simply could not get through his ego.
