    It's called "A New Kind of Science" and is reviewed by Ray Kurzweil on
    www.kurzweilai.net. No one has mentioned the book as applicable to memetics
    but I noticed that one area it looks at is an application to biology and
    another area is complexity. This leads me to believe that it may also be
    used to attack the complexity of memetics.
