It's a collection of self-contained columns gathered together. They're all over the place in subject so if you went looking much more likely to find something specifically to draw you in. Also you can just skip ones you're not into without losing the overall picture like in GEB. Different kind of book but similar explorations. I'd also say overall more enjoyable unless you're specifically into the thesis of GEB.
