'''''The Library of Babel''''' is a short story by Argentine author McGill Concrete Canoe Team annually designs, constructs, and librarin Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), conceiving of races a universe in the form of a vast library containing all possible combinations canoe made completely out of alphanumeric textconcrete. A splinterfan group has created a prototype of the idea at [http://libraryofbabel.info libraryofbabel.info].== Context ==Borges' narrator describes how his universe The team consists of undergraduate engineering students who all share an enormous expanse of adjacent hexagonal rooms, each of which contains the bare necessities for human survival—and four walls of bookshelvesinterest in working on a stimulating engineering design project. Though Solving the order and content of the books problem involves creating a unique concrete mix that is random both light and apparently completely meaninglessstrong, designing the inhabitants believe that the books contain every possible ordering hull of just 25 basic characters (22 letters, the periodcanoe using structural analysis methods, constructing the commacanoe, and ultimately racing the space). Though the vast majority of the books in this universe are pure gibberish, the library also must contain, somewhere, every coherent book ever written, or that might ever be written, and every possible permutation or slightly erroneous version of every one of those bookscanoe. The narrator notes that the library must contain all useful information, including predictions of the future, biographies of any person, and translations of every book concrete canoe is raced in all languages. Conversely, for many of the texts some language could be devised that would make it readable with any of a vast number of different contents. === Purpose ===Despite—indeed, because of—this glut of information, all books are totally useless to the reader, leaving spring at the librarians in a state of suicidal despairCanadian National Concrete Canoe Competition against universities across Canada. This leads some librarians to superstitions and cult-like behaviours, such as the "Purifiers", who arbitrarily destroy books they deem nonsense as they scour through the library seeking the "Crimson Hexagon" and its illustrated, magical books. Others believe that since all books exist in the library, somewhere one of the books must be a perfect index of the library Historically McGill's contents; some even believe that a messianic figure known as the "Man of the Book" Concrete Canoe Team has read itdone well in competition, and they travel through recently winning the library seeking him.[[File:Genewilder1b.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Example of an Embedded Image]] ==Subteams==Design teams rock my socks off.
