NYT has an interesting article about the way that ideas from Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges have presaged certain contemporary notions about the Web and interactivity. The article’s a little fluffy, but it led me to reread an old favorite Borges story, “The Library of Babel,” which I used to use with my Typography I students for a chapbook assignment many moons ago. Somehow in the surfing that followed, I stumbled on this great essay by Kevin Kelly, “In the Library of Form,” Chapter 14 of his book Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World, which is available entirely free online. Well worth a look.
