A New Kind of Science A New Kind of Science A New Kind of Science is a best-selling, controversial book by Stephen Wolfram, published by his own company in 2002. It contains an empirical and systematic study of computational systems such as cellular automata. Wolfram calls these systems "simple programs" and argues that the scientific philosophy and methods appropriate for the study of simple programs are relevant to other fields of science. The thesis of "A New Kind of Science" ("NKS") is twofold: that the nature of computation must be explored experimentally, and that the results of these experiments have great relevance to understanding the
