Non so quanto i problemi aiutino un libro così tecnico

Comincio subito a mettere le mani avanti. Nonostante le apparenze, questo testo è molto tecnico, tanto che parte dai teoremi di indeterminatezza di Gödel e prosegue con le successive semplificazioni ed estensioni. Certo, è nello stile di Smullyan e quindi la trattazione è sotto forma di problemini (e problemoni...) da risolvere: confesso che dopo un po' ho lasciato perdere i problemi e mi sono limitato a guardare la parte con le soluzioni. Insomma, perfetto per gli amanti della logica a livello universitario, ma non so a chi lo consiglierei. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
This book, like hardly any others, explains the pioneering discoveries of the amazing logician Kurt Gödel through recreational logic puzzles.
Let me introduce myself by what might be termed a meta-introduction, by which I mean that I will tell you of three amusing introductions I have had in the past.
