“I love Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentine author. His short story collection Ficciones, or Labyrinths, is amazing. [...] Yeah, Borges is probably my... still the most powerful author that I have read who wasn’t just outright writing philosophy. That was philosophy in there with the sci-fi. [...] “Library of Babel” by Borges is one of the most mind-blowing stories ever written, especially if you know the history of Borges himself, how he was a professor of literature, he managed the Argentine National Library, then he went blind in this library and wrote this amazing story about a library in which all the letters in all the books are kind of jumbled.”
