Douglas Hofstader explores further the concept of self-recursive systems and how can we each sense that we exist as an 'I' inside our heads, and that this existence seems to be the most 'real' thing there is.
How can this 'I' arise from just a collection of particles, collected into neurons, containing symbols in a vast processing machine of our brain?
As ever, his books are very readable and not overly technical and thoroughly enjoyable
