Labyrinth
This story remined me of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 100 years of solitude. Both talk about an imaginary world (though Borges is far more imaginary) and each floats between what is real and what is mythic. The whole idea of the obsession with the place that doesnt exist, and a large group of people working on to create diffrent cultures and countires for this magical world was also interesting. This aspect sort of reminded me of Open Source software, with each person contriburting something diffrent and unique, but all in a system that has to work as a whole.
