"New Scientist reviews Vikram Chandra's 'In Geek Sublime.'
From the article:
In 1975, Austrian-born physicist Fritjof Capra published an unlikely bestseller that explored the parallels between ideas in particle physics and Eastern mysticism. The Tao of Physics became a cult classic, selling over a million copies globally. Despite positive reviews, the book left many readers ultimately unsatisfied and unconvinced. In Geek Sublime, Vikram Chandra draws similar parallels between the process of writing computer code and some of the Indian philosophical systems that have profoundly influenced art, literature and poetry in the subcontinent, but which remain largely unknown in the West."

Since humans, as all things, are ultimately descendents from a 'parent' class (like 'object' in Python) there are always similarities with the other subclasses of that parent. So it's very natural that all things done or dreamed up by 'children' of nature are also natural and have similatities in other natural things.
