I assume you've read GEB. That wanders all over the map, and is fascinating for it.
"Complexity" by Roger Lewin is a sort of journalistic take on the early history of the slightly vague field of complexity science. But its fairly interesting.
"The Computational Beauty of Nature" by Microsoft R&D dude Rob Flake might also be a good candidate.
"The Jaguar and the Quark" by Gell-Mann, complexity theorist and Feynman nemesis, is enjoyable too.
A complexity theorist friend of mine also recommended Rudy Rucker's "The Lifebox, The Seashell, and the Soul" to me, but I haven't read it.
"Darwin Among the Machines" by Freeman Dyson's son (!) is frigging great, but that's now getting off topic.
