Written by Douglas R Hofstadter, Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid is an intellectual treatise on the ways by which thinking and cognitive abilities emerge from logical constructions. The book explores the common topics that are encountered by exploring the lives of three famous personalities, namely Kurt Godel, Johann Sebastian Bach and Maurits C Escher.

According to the book, perception arises in the human mind from the inputs processed by every individual neuron present in the brain. Logic, reasoning and other higher intellectual capabilities are possible because of the combined frameworks of thought made from individual elements. The book takes a look at how meaning is found from the processing of numerous meaningless constituents.

The author also discusses the importance of communication and the ways by which knowledge can be transferred and stored. By presenting an analogy of ants organizing themselves into a thriving colony, the author explains how the human mind is formed from unified constituents of the brain. This book uses interlinked narratives that take place in the strange circumstances and between unusual characters. Puzzle and puns are frequently used throughout the book and help in intellectually stimulating the readers minds.

The 20th anniversary edition of Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid was published by Penguin UK in 2000. It is available in paperback format.
