Now, after going to class and hearing about The Library of Babel, I realize it's not a metaphor at all, but a piece about information. Jorge Luis Borges was trying to describe the language confusion with the first bits of technology.
Good to see that the confusion got resolved! However, many of the writers like Borges have this kind of confusion in their writing and this is also why their writing has so much richness and appeal.It usually takes a bit of reflection to discover what exactly is being conveyed and also it may convey different things to different people; like Prof.Rocha mentioned that this article conveys the idea of infinity to mathematicians.
