Synopsis
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll Douglas Hofstadter's book is concerned directly with the nature of "maps" or links between formal systems. However, according to Hofstadter, the formal system that underlies all mental activity transcends the system that supports it. If life can grow out of the formal chemical substrate of the cell, if consciousness can emerge out of a formal system of firing neurons, then so too will computers attain human intelligence. Godel, Escher, Bach is a wonderful exploration of fascinating ideas at the heart of cognitive science: meaning, reduction, recursion, and much more., Winner of the Pulitzer Prize A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll Douglas Hofstadter's book is concerned directly with the nature of "maps" or links between formal systems.

Arrived quickly and exactly as described. Great value for being an imported version. Arrived well packaged and on time. Would use this seller again. I am also thoroughly enjoying the book. It is an interesting take on monster romance by being from the POV of the monster.

    Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas R. Hofstadter

    A friend recommended it to me and I've been trying to get it from the library for the past few months. My friend wouldn't stop raving about it so I finally decided to buy GEB and I'm happy for it. It's filled with many art forms all reflecting upon the same "Strange-loops" theorem which Douglas Hofstadter upholds as true. Well written and the introduction celebrating it's 20th anniversary adds to the reading. The book is in great condition.

    Beautiful

    Very intriguing story about the connection between three greats in their fields and their prolific connect to one another and to the world itself. Would recommend to anyone interested in mathematics, music, or art.

    Godel, Escher, Bach an Eternal Golden Braid

    Tremendous, challenging book on self awareness, the concept of "I" and cognitive development and potentiality. Uses math (Godel), art, (Escher) and music (Bach) to clearly illustrate his concepts. Well deserved Pulitzer Prize.
