Everything and Nothing

Everything and Nothing collects the best of Borges’ highly influential work-written in the 1930s and ‘40s-that foresaw the internet ( Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius ), quantum mechanics ( The Garden of Forking Paths ), and cloning ( Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote ). David Foster Wallace described Borges as scalp-crinkling …Borges’ work is designed primarily as metaphysical arguments…to transcend individual consciousness.
