"I am a Strange Loop"...great interview with Doug Hofstadter

Here is a great interview with Douglas Hofstadter (author of Gödel, Escher, Bach (Pulitzer Prize, 1979) and Le Ton beau de Marot) recently posted. The interview was originally published in Hebrew and, as such, did not get a great deal of play in the west... It revolves around his newest book, I am a Strange Loop.

I have a soft spot for freakishly sharp minds...and DH has at least two of them. Great read, all.

For a geekish discussion of such things, see the /. musings.
