Why would a mathematician waste time reading that while he could pick up any book on Logic or read Gödel's papers?
That book is only glorified by brainlets.

Ones who enjoy philosophy do, but a mathematicians approval wouldn't give the book credence. The book is more of a philosophic work of art about consciousness than an information textbook, dealing with many subjects that include 'strange loops' from math to physics to programming to music to ai theory. It's a great and interesting book in my opinion. It provides a unique explanation of consciousness not touched on by many.

Reading it now actually, I'm really enjoying the philosophy it goes into and the connections between the formal systems discussed and what it all means. But as people have said the mathematics is really not very rigorous but it doesn't have to be and it would be a worse book if it was
