Hofstadter This book argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the “strange loop” a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains. An autobiographical essay, a love letter to the French language, a series of musings on life, loss, and death, a sweet bouquet of stirring poetry—but most of all, it celebrates the limitless creativity fired by a passion for the music of words. Hofstadter's collection of quirky essays is unified by its primary concern: to examine the way people perceive and think. This book explores the meaning of self and consciousness through the perspectives of literature, artificial intelligence, psychology, and other disciplines. Now, with his wit and special talent for making complex ideas vivid, Hofstadter has partnered with Sander to put forth a highly novel perspective on cognition. This book will profoundly enrich our understanding of our own minds.
