Babel Life turns Borges' Library of Babel into a place you can actually walk through. Instead of random letters, you find 81 books, each placed at its own hexagon, wall and shelf address, and each telling a possible life: the person someone could have been. It isn't an endless text generator. It's a curated collection of literary stories you can browse like a real library, with every book given its own location. The stories and ideas are mine AI helped me write them in literary style.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
Borges imagined a library holding every possible book. I kept wondering what lives might be hidden in its shelves, so I built Babel Life: 81 books, each with its own hexagon, wall and shelf address, and each telling a life someone could have lived.
The stories and ideas are mine; AI helped me write them in literary style and build the website. It is a non-commercial project and is not affiliated with Borges' estate.
I'd love to know which book you open first and what you think of the idea. Thanks for stopping by!
