Metamagical Themas: Questing for the Essence of Mind and Pattern
by Douglas R. Hofstadter
Close on five stars, but it can be a little dated and uneven in places (reading it in 2018!). But there is so much here that showcases an incredible perspective and intellect, on so many wonderful issues around intelligence, identity and patterns in life. It really helped me (even after Godel, Escher, Bach) understand more about intelligence and the ideas that must lie behind artificial or non-human intelligence (and why full AI is so hard).
