This reminds me (via the alchemy of free association) of one book that quite literally changed my life: _Infinity and the Mind_ by Rudy Rucker. And on that note, _Godel, Escher, Bach_. Aside: I once invited Douglas Hofstadter to silklist, and received a polite, though terse, note that he was not interested in the internet at all.
