The Library of Babel

The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges is very interesting. It talks about a universe in the form of a huge library containing every book possible. They are all 410 page books that can be composed with a certain amount of letters. Every book is different. I think that the point of the story is to show how large the information space is. There is so much information in this world and so many possibilities. The article was kind of difficult to read, but once i did, it really got me thinking. I found it very interesting.
