Libraryofbabel.info

Libraryofbabel.info is a website that attempts to simulate a digitalized version of the Library of Babel, a universal library based on Jorge Luis Borges' 1941 short story "The Library of Babel". The concept of that library (and the website) is to have a practically infinite number of 410-page books containing every possible combination of 25 characters (22 letters, periods, commas, and spaces). The library's content is divided into numbered digital hexagons, each with 4 walls, 20 shelves and 640 volumes.
== History ==
According to Jonathan Basile, the founder of this website, while he was lying in bed, one day, he suddenly had the idea of making an online version of the Library of Babel. Although, around that time, he thought that it must've somehow existed on the internet before, but turns out that it didn't, so he decided to start it in 2014-2015. Since this algorithm would take too much digital space, he instead designed an algorithm that would allow to simulate this library. The site was finally launched in 2015.
