"You should read Jorge Luis Borges's short story 'Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote'. It’s only six pages long, and you'll be wanting to drop me a postcard to thank me for pointing it out to you." - Douglas Adams
Labyrinth is incredible. It took me a while to grasp it and I still might've missed its point, but it was almost an epiphany like experience for me to understand that knowledge is discovered rather than created. On a fundamental level I've always understood that, but understanding that everything we will ever know as a species already exists as knowledge as is just to be discovered really changed my views.
Edit: can also really recommend The Southern Thruway by Cortázar
I can also recommend Cortázar's "The Southern Thruway" (La autopista del Sur). I read it by accident, more or less, in a short story collection. Still have to read Labyrinths by Borges...
Haven’t read Labyrinths, thank you for the recommendation
