Some of what I’ll talk about happened twenty years ago, some more like thirty years ago. But here I want to share some of the more practical “behind the scenes” journey of the making of what I and others usually now call simply “the NKS book”. I’ve written before (even in the book itself) about the intellectual journey involved in the creation of A New Kind of Science. And painstakingly laying out page after page of what on May 14, 2002, would be published as A New Kind of Science. Crafting an exposition that I wrote and rewrote to make as clear as possible. Developing new kinds of computational diagrams. Almost every day of my thirties, and a little beyond, I tenaciously worked on it. And its creation took more than a decade of my life. In the end it’s about five and a half pounds of paper, 1280 pages, 973 illustrations and 583,313 words.
