There are few books that fail to pass through my hands. Oliver Sacks’ copy of Gödel, Escher, Bach is one of them. #mine #douglashofstadter #oliversacks #godelescherbach https://www.instagram.com/p/CeTnraRrNPs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Most of my books (apart from music books, which I’ve posted recently) are now consumed electronically, eiher via audiobook or kindle. Here’s a couple of pictures of the hard copies I still have. First my intellectual bookshelf (yes, I have read them all) #books #bookshelf #stephenhawking #douglashofstadter #lawrencelessig #noamchomsky #ludwigwiggenstein (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7veBM7lVao/?igshid=1cs64tsukxs1i

It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk just behind a facade of order-- and yet, deep inside the chaos lurks an even eerier type of order.
