I read it 20 years ago and loved it at the time. I have a degree in math, so those aspects were interesting and relatively simple. The music and programming parts were more interesting to me, but I fear that the programming won’t age well.
The parts that stuck with me the most though were the Zen koans. Stepping outside the duality of things, finding anti logical statements, and appreciating the “little A, little B” of reality impacted my approach to life.
