Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid, also known as GEB, is a 1979 book by Douglas Hofstadter.

博客來：這是一本空前的奇書，也是一本傑出的科學普及名著，它以精心設計的巧妙筆法深入淺出地介紹了數理邏輯、可計算理論、人工智能等學科領域中的許多艱深理論，輕松、幽默、流暢的文字隱藏著大量的潛台詞，它們前後照應、互相聯系，交織成一個復雜、無形的網絡，讀者看不見它，但可以嗅出它的氣味，並覺察到這是作者有意噴灑的。作者希望借此引起讀者的興趣，從而在反復玩味中體會出那些潛台詞來，真正觸及本書的精華。

Wikipedia：By exploring common themes in the lives and works of logician Kurt Gödel, artist M. C. Escher, and composer Johann Sebastian Bach, the book expounds concepts fundamental to mathematics, symmetry, and intelligence. Through short stories, illustrations, and analysis, the book discusses how systems can acquire meaningful context despite being made of "meaningless" elements. It also discusses self-reference and formal rules, isomorphism, what it means to communicate, how knowledge can be represented and stored, the methods and limitations of symbolic representation, and even the fundamental notion of "meaning" itself.
