Synopsis:

From the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Gödel, Escher, Bach, a stunning exploration ofthe mechanisms of intelligence through computer modeling.

“Terrific – deep, wise, provocative and profound.” – Los Angeles Times

Readers of earlier works by Douglas Hofstadter will find this book a natural extension of his style and his ideas about creativity and analogy; in addition, psychologists, philosophers, and artificial-intelligence researchers will find in this elaborate web of ingenious ideas a deep and challenging new view of mind.
