Without a doubt my favorite writer. Although it is a recurring theme
in Borges you are probably referring to "The Library of Babel". You
can read a plot summary of this extraordinary story at http://

It's not directly a data store, because any kinds of things lie
between the data stores of the internet, and the user... if there
is even a data store. Often the servers are used for computations
rather than storage.I also wanted to recommend a good short story by Jorge Luis Borges.
It's an absurd dystopia about information theory, permutations,
catalogues, metacatalogues, lies, noise, typos, randomness, and
meaning. Well, that's what I remember reading into it._ _ __ ___ _____ ________ _____________ _____________________ ... | Mathieu Bouchard - tél:+1.514.383.3801 - http://artengine.ca/matju | Freelance Digital Arts Engineer, Montréal QC
