Wrote a passion piece about 2 of my favourite books.

Gödel, Escher, Bach, Wallace: the "o's, d's and p's" in Infinite Jest

"the [typographic encoding] becomes the smoking gun in the case against Avril Incandenza when you appreciate Wallace's intellectual debt to Douglas Hofstadter and Gödel, Escher, Bach – a debt the essay documents in detail below."

Weird how many nerd fandoms seem to have the same people in them, right? Rhythm games, conlangs, math and computing, puzzles and paradoxes. I've been calling this "the GEB Orbit", because if you're into two or more of these things, you're probably in the target audience for Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter, a book I would describe as "the spiritual precedessor to xkcd."

Picked this up today after hearing about it the other day. I like (to think that I like) complicated books, and might even try to work this one into the rotation.

…I’m trying to replace my beloved copy of “Gödel, Escher, Bach” and eBay is suggesting the “AA Trucker’s Atlas of Britain” as being “inspired by your recent views”

I deeply, deeply hope that there is a subculture of British truckers who are into algorithms & the development of consciousness.

Just finished Gödel’s Proof, by Nagel and Newman, and have gone back to Gödel, Escher, Bach (GEB), by Hofstadter 15 years later. Mathematics of the deepest philosophical interest. Really up for it this time around.
