I am playing around with creating a public domain repository for ebooks. https://babelnexus.com There are a few differences. It uses core collection theory and is selective. The name comes from the short story The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges. Borges used Hexagonal Galleries for his library. I realized you could put anything into hexagonal galleries. It did not have to be books composed of random letters. I also saw that you could use different levels to group kinds of knowledge using the spiral staircase concept. I have added other concepts like reading trails and cortex maps. I learned that the hexagonal concept of Borges library matches with knowledge graphs with both nodes and edges. There is a lot of experimentation in what I am doing. It is an art project, a bit of philosophizing, a bit on the public domain and many other things.

I updated it with layout improvements and links to audiobooks through Librivox.

  • I am looking for use cases and testimonials for the site which I created. If you have any suggested uses or experiences let me know. It would be helpful to see how people use the site as well as positive statements about the site. I need them to be from people that have some separation from me. I don't want to make things up.
