Stephen Wolfram references Hofstadter in a recent (and yet another brilliant) blog post. Worth checking out if you love a bit of recursion, and if perhaps a New Kind Science sits on your bookshelf next to GEB. https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2024/09/nestedly-recursive-functions/

Every chapter is an universe in itself. Do keep casting about it. ❤️ This book altered me in so many ways that now I see my life in 2 halfs pre-GEB and post-GEB. 🙈 https://warpcast.com/kpx/0xcdcf0011

I read this book after high school (was in an unfortunate place in life) and it (among like 2 other events) changed the course of my life. I enrolled in a Math program and spent the next 4 years expanding my horizons. Still have my copy. It's travelled with me over the decades.

It's still taunting me from my bookshelf. Never started it despite owning it for a couple of years.

Thats how I read it too. And honestly, I think there’s value in reading it that way, so the brain can process it in the background somehow. In a sense, I’ve come to love the book this way and have enjoyed it more by not rushing through it.

I like the chapter that reads forward and backwards (line by line) with different meanings

Strange Loops and recursion explain so much about the world. Been collecting thoughts for a book…in 2025. https://paragraph.xyz/@mirrorandloom/the-observer-paradox

The book 'i am a strange loop' open with Douglas lamenting that this was the book he wish he wrote instead of GEB. And it's 1/3 the length -- I'd recommend reading that instead
