Library of Babel

The article "Library of Babel" is an unique article that is sometimes hard to comprehend. It explains a library where the article's author lives. He is unsure why the library or why he himself exists, or what his purpose in life. He discusses how many of his collegues died in vain trying to find the "truth" about the library. The author believes that the library was created by a God and the library contains all books. When the author's collegues (which became known as inquisitors) heard the library contained all books they started their search for certain books that contained the truth of their existence. In the end, the author believes that all humans will be extinct, but the library will remain because it is unlimited and cyclical.
