I'm also wondering this. I started reading this a few years back but eventually got fed up with all the dumb storybook shit between each and every chapter so I put it down and never looked back.

Read 'I Am a Strange Loop' if you only care about his main point. I love GEB because of the synergy of various fields and the ultimate in uniting all the preceding content.

What is that book, exactly?

There are both paperback and hardcover editions, whichever you prefer. I'm sure there are e-books, too, like for Kindle and such.

I read all of book 1, book 2 I started but couldn't get into since I have a CS degree although I bet it would have gotten better if I continued. It's just an exhausting book desu.

You can skip all the dialogue in the beginning to significantly shorten the book.

It was a fun read. Sometimes boring, but all in all fun. Would recommend, better than shitposting on 4chink desu.

That's the secret, anon. There's no substance to the argument.
