For the Librarians

Published on the 25th anniversary of Jorge Luis Borges’ death and 70 years after the publication of his story, The Library of Babel, in his collection El Jardín de senderos que se bifurcan.

 

... because I cannot conceive a mountain without a valley, it does not follow that there is any mountain or valley in existence, but simply that the mountain or valley, whether they do or do not exist, are inseparable from each other.

René Descartes, Meditations (5th Meditation)
