Great book. I haven't read his more recent I am a Strang Loop. For people who have read it, is it worth the plunge?

- arafa 12y agoI am a Strange Loop elaborates on the ideas from GEB, while also being more personal (which GEB definitely isn't). Some people I knew thought it was repetitive, less enjoyable, and less artistic than GEB. In some ways I agree with those criticisms. But if you want to know more about how self-reference actually leads to consciousness and more about Hofstadter the person I recommend it.
- ballpoint 12y agoYeah, it's much more concrete about his consciousness ideas and definitely got me thinking about a lot of things.
