Yeah, recursion exists, yeah fractals are weird, yeah systems can’t accurately describe themselves.

That's basically all I remember from the book, I figured that I had just forgotten most of it. I was unfortunately one of those 13-year-olds who thought they were much smarter and deeper than they were, so the book being full of itself definitely tracks.
