About this product
Product Information
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll Douglas Hofstadter's book is concerned directly with the nature of "maps" or links between formal systems. However, according to Hofstadter, the formal system that underlies all mental activity transcends the system that supports it. If life can grow out of the formal chemical substrate of the cell, if consciousness can emerge out of a formal system of firing neurons, then so too will computers attain human intelligence. Godel, Escher, Bach is a wonderful exploration of fascinating ideas at the heart of cognitive science: meaning, reduction, recursion, and much more.

Item pictured was incorrect from what I received. I’m being generous with two stars since socks were same brand, new but incorrect color. I contacted seller and was given a brushed-off response. This is the first time in almost 20 years using eBay that I’ve had a negative experience. I’m not going to make a huge deal about a $13 item but BUYERS BEWARE OF THIS SELLER.
