By Douglas hofstadter? I’m wondering what people opinions are on the book as I finished it after a few months of reading it and it was quite a journey.

I had issues regarding the mathematics equations for a big part and honestly skipped over a lot of them but didn’t find them to be needed to understand the main points of the book but maybe someone can clue me into that.

I’m more interested in if it changed anyones preconceived notions or beliefs they once held.
