I liked GEB, but am shocked how few people mention ""I am a Strange Loop", I found it even more inspiring... And it was written since he felt no one understood GEB. ;)
Enjoyed the book. I had trouble with his free will argument - seemed to veer off topic - a cursory tussle with Sam Harris and Brian Green - and unconvincingly connected to our false presuppositions about space-time. But I’m equally aware of my own limitations fathoming this particular topic. Would love to read a dedicated shorter piece by Egginton on free will. Also, this book complements Donald Hoffmann’s “The Case Against Reality.” Thanks for the interview.
That your shirt is the color of his room seems significant. Physics is beautiful because it isn’t or doesn’t need to be beautiful… or a maze made beautifully.
