The Library of Babel

Although it took me a few reads to understand, The Library of Babel found on Infoport is a fascinating look into how information can be interpreted and described. This imaginary "Library" of every possible book of every possible combination of letters in Borges' story is somewhat hard to grasp, but it really makes you think about how ambiguous signs and systems of information are. I never thought about the fact that with so many possibilities language systems can be so much more complicated then they are today.
