Description
Toen 'Godel, Escher, Bach' verscheen in 1979 was Hofstadter in een klap wereldberoemd. Het is maar weinigen gegeven zo met taal en kennis te spelen: briljant, erudiet, creatief, humoristisch, en didaktisch van zeer hoog niveau. Dezelfde kwaliteiten bepalen het gezicht van 'Metamagische thema's'. Het is een bundeling van artikelen die in de jaren 1981-1983 in de Scientific American verschenen en die nu met behulp van uitvoerige naschriften tot een geheel verweven zijn. De onderwerpen bestrijken ruwweg hetzelfde brede gebied dat we kennen uit 'Godel, Escher, Bach': kunstmatige intelligentie, creativiteit, muziek, zelfverwijzing, en ook Achilles en de schildpad zijn van de partij. Een intellectuele delicatesse. Bevat register en een uitvoerige bibliografie met toelichting. (NBD|Biblion recensie, Drs. D.G. van der Steen.)
