Reflections on Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science, by Ray Kurzweil

You may definitely not read the book, but this review is not to be missed: Reflections on Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science, by Ray Kurzweil (it explains why you may read something else instead, Kant, for example).

Did you actually read what you linked to?

Its final statement is: "I believe the book to be an important work of ontology."

Yea, sure sounds like he is dimissing it and suggesting you read something else.

Yes, I did read it. And no, unfortunately, a phrase out of context makes no difference. Anyone who reads Kurzweil's review will realise that it is not positive and that there are better and far more important work of ontology to read. My suggestion is to start with Kant.
