About this title

Synopsis

The author of the best-selling Go+a5del, Escher, Bach analyzes the differences between human and computer thought, explaining how he and his colleagues have tried to build fluidity into computer models of analogy-making. National ad/promo.

Synopsis

Readers of earlier works by Douglas Hofstadter will find this book a natural extension of his style and his ideas about creativity and analogy; in addition, psychologists, philosophers, and artificial-intelligence researchers will find in this elaborate web of ingenious ideas a deep and challenging new view of mind.
