Library of Babel

This is somewhat of a confusing story.. 1st of all its a short story. Borges is trying to point out how big of a range information is. It specifies all information is like space and represents it as the library. I think Borges meant to make the story unclear; he did so one can have their own point of view and perception of the story and all the possibilities and diversity of information. As it sais, the library can hold "Universes worth of books" (information). The story is about exploring information and how Babel tried to explore it. Most of the books, which there was a lot, meant nothing. However, everything can be found in the library, from random fiction, non-fiction, to even future predictions. The question the story brings up is, how do we measure info? It is explored in the Library of Babel....Library
