While I know what Douglas Hofstadter's book "Godel Escher Bach - an eternal golden braid" is, it might be worth revisiting your apparent assumption that more or less everybody on HN knows about a book from 47 years ago (regardless of its significance to those of us who have encountered it already).

LOL, I happen to have a "Hofstadter_GEB.pdf" open on my desktop; been there for months.
