Everything and Nothing

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