I picked up from somewhere, years ago, a wonderful quote
by Borges:

"I thought of a labyrinth of labyrinths, of one sinuous spreading
labyrinth that would encompass the past and the future and in some way
involve the stars." (Jorge Luis Borges)

and lo and behold, on the bookshelf of my hosts' room where I'm
presently staying is the book: _Labryinths_ by J.L. Borges.

It is fantastical surrealism that predates hyperlinks, forking, and
otherworld strange realities.

Here is a nice URL to get started on your Borges adventure:
