Recursive universe

This is a fantastic, mind blowing book, spanning a wide array of topics ranging from information theory, to cellular automata, computer science, complexity, chaos, and self-organizing structures. You will gain deep insights into how the universe must work on a fundamental level.

Read this book back in the 80s and it, along with two other books--Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach and Rudy Rucker's Infinity and The Mind--completely transformed my thinking. They were the last books to ever have such an impact on me.

The book arrived promptly and is in excellent condition. As to the contents, this is an informative, well-written book by a well-known author.
