Slightly off-topic, but I just finished reading the section Ant Fugue [1] in Gödel, Escher, Bach, and I think it's the most amazing chapter of any book I've ever read. In it, an anteater describes his relationship with an ant colony.

- hexane360 9y agoAm I missing something? That appears to be The Mind's I, not Gödel, Escher, Bach.
- joshmarlow 9y agoIIRC believe he played with the idea in both books.
- clusmore 9y agoI haven't read The Mind's I, but I can definitely say this passage (or something very much like it) is in Gödel, Escher, Bach. I searched on the internet for a copy of the passage and this was the best result I could find. Apologies for any confusion.
