Made me think of “A conversation with Einstein’s Brain” one of the chapters in Hofstader & Dennett’s “Mind’s I: Fantasies & Reflections on Self & Soul” (1985), that chapter takes the form of a Socratic dialogue between Achilles and The Tortoise. Like Hofstader’s earlier “Gödel, Escher, Bach”, it is one of the best books I’ve ever read.
