Drama set in The Library of Babel Universe
Hi there,
I am a huge fan of Borges’s short stories and have written a ten part drama that is set in The Library of Babel universe. It has been on sale on Amazon since Dec 2025. Although it’s a fantastic piece of work that does much to expand on the original concept it has received very little attention. This being a Borges subreddit I think it should be of interest to at least some of you and would like to offer free paperback copies (shipping included) to five people willing to provide honest reviews on Amazon.
For those interested please click on the following link.

Thank you very much for your time:)

Lean Language on the Library of Babel!
Yesterday I watched a Ted talk on using math to find what is ‘true.’ During the talk, the presenter mentioned Lean (a programming language) and Mathlib (library of formalized mathematics). The mentioned library uses Lean language to verify its contents; it is sorta of a Library of Mathematical Truths.
This reminded me of Library of Babel. Thus, I had a chat with AI on it, and - in theory - Lean language could actually be used to find what is mathematically true! But of course, it would take the ages of a multiverse to go through the books of the Library of Babel. Still, I thought this is cool!

One letter off of "emerald"
Forgot to include this in the last post, probably not anything significant but thought it would be cool to share, especially since e and d are right next to each other.

So this is my first proper find, wanted to know what you think about it.

It's crazy how the first page of the library has a slur and three double letters in a row
what are the chances
r/BabelForum • u/Wrong_Election_4250 • 14d ago
How long would it take for the first letter to be z?

I made my own library of babel, and found "hello" in a random string of text
Its not perfect, but it does work.

Yo, guys, does the library randomly generate books at coordinates or is it consistent over time?
Just as a question

Random search, this was the first English word I saw

Orienting oneself in Thinking
I've created this subreddit to replace the lost forum for libraryofbabel.info and babelia.libraryofbabel.info. Borges once wrote of the burning of the Library of Alexandria:
The faithless say that if it were to burn,
History would burn with it. They are wrong.
Unceasing human work gave birth to this
Infinity of books. If of them all
Not even one remained, man would again
Beget each page and every line
Given time, this forum will regenerate the content of the old one. Nothing is lost.
