The Amoeba's Secret by Bruno Marchal (2014, ISBN 9781495992797)

I found out about this book on Always Asking 

Is seemed like something I'd be interested in. The book is an autobiography. However, parts of it, for example chapter 8 are beyond anything I could understand. There are lots of references to Gödel, Church, Kleene, Tarski and many many others.

This seems to be about Digital Mechanism or Computationalism.

 

The back cover says this -- 

The Amoeba's Secret tells the story of Dr Bruno Marchal's quest for understanding some of the deepest aspects of reality, starting from an initial interest in invisible immortal beings as a child, and a realisation that amoeba are both invisible and effectively immortal. This led to questions touching some of the most fundamental theorems of computer science and mathematics, and a surprising reversal in the ontological status of psychology and physics. For this, he was awarded a PhD at the university of Lille, and received the coveted Prix Le Monde de la Recherche Universitaire. This book, Le Secret de l'Amibe, was commissioned by Le Monde for publication by Grasset, and then mysteriously, the prize was withdrawn, and the book never published. Now translated into English for the first time, you can read the incredible journey and ordeals that Dr Marchal faced. Plus, this book remains the most accessible introduction to Dr Marchal's ideas, as he explains what motivated him to formulate and study these questions in this way.

The Philosophy Book, by Gregory Bassham (2016, ISBN 978-1-4549-1847-9) Subtitle-- From the Vedas to the New Atheists, 250 Milestones in the History of Philosophy.
I really liked this book. Contains 250 one page descriptions of various philosophy topics arraigned by date. Starts with Vedas and ends with "The Triple Theory of Ethics". In the back of the book are references to other books for each topic, so you can research further. Also, of course, you can research on the internet using things like Wikipedia. Below is page one of the table of contents. As you can see a wide range of topics is covered.

About Time by Paul Davies, 1995, ISBN 0-671-79964-9. The subject of this book is the temporal realm, the dimension of time. The author is a physicist. In technical literature he is listed as P. C. W. Davies. The subtitle is "Einstein's Unfinished Revolution" and much of the book is about general relativity and time dilation. The book starts with a brief history of how people have (and still do) think about time. Everyone experiences time. In some cultures they claim that all times exists together, others only see the Now. In the novel Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, the character Billy Pilgrim becomes aware of his disjointed time travels. Most of "About Time" is about time as it relates to modern physics. Good book. The book has 285 pages, a Preface, a Prologue, 14 chapters and an Epilogue. Plus Notes describing sources of quotes, etc., a Biblography and an Index.
