Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter

3.0

I’m glad I read this. It’s like reading Richard Feynman, but less accessible.

Infinity is hard and makes math really complicated. But the book softens the concepts with ties in to art and music (and biology), before going really deep again on cognitive science and artificial intelligence.

The pun-filled and whimsical dialogues are wonderful.
