One of our greatest philosophers and scientists of the mind asks where the self comes from - and how our selves can exist in the minds of others. I Am a Strange Loop argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the "strange loop" - a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains. The most central and complex symbol in your brain is the one called "I". The "I" is the nexus in our brain, one of many symbols seeming to have free will and to have gained the paradoxical ability to push particles around, rather than the reverse.

This book is mostly Gibberish.

This book lands in the bottom five of my all time books. The meat of the book could easily be expressed in 3 typed, double spaced pages. The rest is the author’s ego thinking he has something to say. The book is replete with examples. Unfortunately where one or two examples would suffice, the author goes on and on and on and then some. The examples don’t even take any thought to understand, additional example do not clarify or add to the reader’s understanding. (Note to self - investigate if the publisher should also be on my black list.
There are too many good books out there dealing with consciousness, read all of them before you start this one. Why not one star? Well, it could have been twice as long.

The wall just didn’t look right. Alex has been trying to cope. Life after his deployment had been rough. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter. She was right. He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick. Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway.

Unsatisfying
Revisado: 01-24-23
The story has potential, but the plane, unadorned language makes it feel like a long short story written by an eighth grader. I won’t be reading the next book. I suggest you find something else.
