I googled "Hacking Complexity" (as a quoted string) and only got 8 hit, and only one two occurences were used as titles rather than verbs...
In the spirit of Wil McCarthy's novel "Hacking Matter", I suggest precisely that title for a book title. I should also mention (and I've talked privately with a few of you) that Larry Archibald, the early publisher of Stereophile magazine approached me about 5 years ago about his desire to start a magazine that essentially featured all things "Infomesa and SFI". He has a reputation for high quality, professional-amatuer publishing... Larry brought Stereophile to NM nearly 25 years ago... and he sees (saw?) the potential for something similar in this world... I told him the time was not quite ripe, that as things evolved, I'd let him know when they might be. At the time Popular Complexity/Non-linear Science, etc had peaked (as most of the Employment sections in your resumes will indicate?) and things were sliding toward a precipice of loss of financial, if not popular support. To whatever extent, we are now coming up out of the "bottome" this might be a good time to engage him. What do you think about a bimonthly slick glossy (maybe following on the heels of a book) at the general technical level of Scientific American? Maybe there would be some motivation (call it pay and publication record) for all of us to take our well thought-out contributions here and turn them into something publishable in a more "Popular" venue.
