Summary: the most thought provoking text i have read yet!
Comment: This book is incredible. It has made me think much more deeply about every aspect of life. the writers talk about consciousness, artificial intelligence, and oher topics, and do it fantasticaly. I highly recommend this book. What ever you do, get it!

Summary: Fantastic collection
Comment: If you've ever asked questions about mind, intelligence, identity, and the unity of the organism, you need to read this book. It's a collection of nice little stories and articles that are individually quite digestible. But each one is a great inspiration for questions and ideas and thoughts. And cumulatively, they present a synergistic panoply of alternative views and issues that synthesize into a truly enriching mind-altering experience.
Perhaps the best testament to this book's appeal is that I keep having to buy new copies because each time I let someone borrow it I never get it back. Or perhaps it's that I keep buying new copies anyway!

Summary: Far From His Best Work
Comment: I am a big fan of the author, and "Godel, Escher, Bach" is an incredible work, that cannot be argued. This book, however, is a complete waste of time. It is basically a collection of supposed cute and clever essays, very few of which are really interesting. Many of them are simply outdated, others just plain stupid. The only people who would like this book are those who simply couldn't handle Hofstadter's more intellectual works. This book is full of pseudo-intellectual garbage and boring essays that, more often than not, fail to even touch on the actual scientific or intellectual ideas that they dance around. Skip it and buy "GEB".
