Imagine a massive clockwork library that contains every book ever written but operates on an arcane and baffling system.
In the vein of Jorge Luis Borges’ ‘Library of Babel,’ construct a world where a colossal, steam-powered library exists. Explore the library’s intricate and enigmatic operation—including its pneumatic conveyors, rotating shelves, secret compartments, and an array of clockwork librarians—and its impact on users: librarians, scholars, writers, and ordinary citizens. This story prompts creativity, exploration of mechanical marvels, and reflection on knowledge accessibility and preservation.
