When I was in university I once borrowed Wolfram's New Kind of Science from the university library and lugged it back all the way to my dorm. It was extremely heavy. And very unreadable. This is a good thread of reviews.

Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science" is a 1,280p opus on physics, math, human behavior, and most of all, cellular automata. We live in an age where nobody reads books that long anymore, so here is Lawrence Gray's 2003 gem of a book review: ams.org/notices/200302

I read Soshana Zuboff's "Surveillance Capitalism", 700 pages or so. Heavy enough to mug someone vvith. Very readable, very interesting. Sounds like you needed a forklift for VVolfram's book.
