If all you got out of it was the stuff on AI, then you really weren't reading it very closely... :) IMHO, GEB really isn't a book for everyone. If you're a conclusion/goal oriented person, then GEB is NOT for you. There is no earth shattering conclusion. GEB is a book for people who believe that the journey is more important than the goal, that all the little tangents really are important, and the thoughts that are inspired by a book are just as important as the thoughts that get spoon fed to you.
