Jorge Luis Borges
The Garden of Forking Paths
One of the most amazing pieces of short writing. I feel this book was made for me and this project, though I never knew it existed until I had already started researching...
It's a fictional story about 'the garden of forking paths' which in itself, is also a book, not a garden. This book is a book containing all the ever possible outcomes, of various possible paths. It is like a game.
Hard to explain, but it is only a few pages long and so takes no time to read... I recommend everyone must read it. It opens up many ideas.
Very philosophical.
