Everything and Nothing, Paperback

Descriere

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.""
