Publisher's note

An original, endlessly thought-provoking, and controversial look at the nature of consciousness and identity argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the "strange loop," a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains. Reprint.

Annotation

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Douglas R. Hofstadter (GODEL, ESCHER, BACH) returns with one of his trademark ruminations on the nature of consciousness and the interplay between science, art, and humanity. He proposes that consciousness can be considered in terms of self-referential loops that, as their complexity increases, achieve consciousness. If this seems esoteric, have no fear, because Hofstadter is a master of combining lofty concepts with humor and sincerity. This book feels particularly personal when he writes about the loss of his wife to cancer in 1993.
