Absolute Write Gödel, Escher, Bach 1979 book by Douglas Hofstadter Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid, also known as GEB, is a 1979 book by Douglas Hofstadter. By exploring common themes in the lives and works of logician Kurt Gödel, artist M. C. In response to confusion over the book's theme, Hofstadter emphasized that Gödel, Escher, Bach is not about the relationships of mathematics, art, and music—but rather about how cognition emerges from hidden neurological mechanisms. Gödel, Escher, Bach won the Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction[3] and the National Book Award for Science Hardcover.[4][a] Despite the success of the book, Hofstadter felt that audiences did not adequately grasp what he felt was the main idea of the book: strange loops. Gödel, Escher, Bach takes the form of interweaving narratives. One dialogue in the book is written in the form of a crab canon, in which every line before the midpoint corresponds to an identical line past the midpoint.
