Corner of Babel

The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries…

宇宙（别人管它叫图书馆）由许多六角形的回廊组成，数目不能确定，也许是无限的……

This library will give every reader a hall of their own. Open now is Jeff's hall: Articles, Strange Tales from the Cybersecurity World and Projects, floors as sections, galleries as years. Further down are the reading lists visitors have asked for, the BookSeeker stacks and the ISBN Wing. Almost every book is gibberish; only the lit spines can be read.
