Linking the music of J.S. Bach, the graphic art of Escher and the mathematical theorems of Gödel, Douglas Hofstadter illuminates one of the greatest mysteries of modern science: the nature of human thought processes. Lucid and witty, drawing together an astonishing range of ideas, it is at once an entertainment, a brilliant literary achievement and a triumph of the imagination.
Douglas Richard Hofstadter is an American cognitive and computer scientist whose research includes concepts such as the sense of self in relation to the external world, consciousness, analogy-making, strange loops, ambigrams, artificial intelligence, and discovery in mathematics and physics.
