Library of Blabber is an odd little experience that in which you search for any form of sense in an infinite library, filled with an infinite amount of randomly generated books (mostly) filled with gibberish.

Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ story The Library of Babel, and Jonathan Basile’s libraryofbabel.info project, the chances of you ever finding anything resembling a sentence, let alone a readable book are ridiculously small.  

However, there’s always a chance – after-all, much like the logic of the Infinite Monkey Theorem, an infinite library must contain every book that can, and will ever exist.  So everything from the complete works of shakespeare to that homework essay you wrote when you were 12 is in there somewhere among the infinite nonsense.  Unfortunately you’d probably need an infinite amount of people or an infinite amount of time to find anything meaningful, but you can always try!

! indeed.

I’ve mentioned libraryofbabel.info (which now includes image archives). A VR tour of the Library (which some call the universe) is a nice next step, so I’m glad Ivan Notaros made this for Procjam 2015.
