Wolfram 已经把《Cellular Automata and Complexity: Collected Papers》全文放到了网上 http://www.stephenwolfram.com/publications/cellular-automata... 这本合集里的综述论文很适合楼主作为入门起点；注意其中其他一些论文假设读者……
Wolfram has put the entire text of Cellular Automata and Complexity: Collected Papers online http://www.stephenwolfram.com/publications/cellular-automata... The survey papers in this collection would be the place for OP to start; note that some of the other papers assume…
Wolfram 1994年的书《Cellular Automata and Complexity》（http://www.amazon.com/Cellular-Automata-Complexity-Collected...）涵盖的内容和《一种新科学》（NKS）大体相同，但那是一本论文集，而且可读性要强得多；即便如此也有差不多600页。
Wolfram's 1994 book "Cellular Automata and Complexity" (http://www.amazon.com/Cellular-Automata-Complexity-Collected...) covered most of the same ground as NKS, but was a collection of papers and was a lot more readable; even it was almost 600 pp.
补充点背景，Wolfram 出过一本名为《Cellular Automata and Complexity》的论文合集 [1]，他在其中将元胞自动机（CA）大致分成了四大类：I. 收敛到均匀的最终状态 II. 收敛到简单周期的最终状态 III. “随机” IV. “复杂” 其中……
For some context, Wolfram published a book of collected papers called "Cellular Automata and Complexity" [1] where he classified Cellular Automata (CA) into four broad categories: I. Convergent uniform final state II. Convergent simple pattern final state III. "Random" IV. "Complexity" Where…
