calla351 's review for:
Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid
by Douglas R. Hofstadter
There aren’t many books I’ve read that have genuinely shifted the way I think about the world. It helps that I’ve already got a masters in Logic and have always been fascinated by the subject, but the way Hofstadter weaves concepts and ideas together is so charming and so illuminating that I’d challenge almost anyone not to fund it delightful. More that anything, the way he talks about the meaning that exists in and out of a system is incredible, and it’s surprising how applicable it is to so many situations. I think about this book a lot and if you’re interested in these topics then it would be a crime not to read it.
