The Library of Babel is a surrealist story set in a world made up of interlocking hexagons where humans have only rudimentary supplies except for books full of what the world's librarians presume to be random combinations of a set group of symbols. This means that most books are useless gibberish, but the librarians have not given up hope of finding the supposedly inevitable books containing useful information and coherent narratives.
