Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid

Honestly, I don't remember too much about this one. I read it many, many years ago. The basic focus was the author's examination of human creativity, as exhibited by the math of Gödel, the art of Escher, and the music of Bach, and the implications thereof for the understanding of computers and artificial intelligence. It's a mathematically oriented book, but not terribly demanding; great for the thinking reader.
