collapse journal
Everyone should order their copy of Collapse (already reviewed very prettily by Dominic). It's an astonishingly good-looking thing, permeated throughout with the aura of the limitless possibilities of literary and conceptual innovation (the rigour of 'amateurs in the true sense' as Robin puts it in the introduction).
'And how about the entire universe, can it be considered to be a computer? Yes, it certainly can, it is constantly computing its future state from its current state, it's constantly computing its own time-evolution!' - Gregory Chaitin, 'From Leibniz to Ω', Collapse, vol. 1, p. 47.
