Sass籀n-Henry (Spanish language, literature, and culture, US Naval Academy) examines Jorge Luis Borge's "The Library of Babel," "The Garden of Forking Paths," and "The Interloper" from a
literary, scientific, and technological perspective. She analyzes these stories through the theories of Gilles Deleuze, F矇lix Guattari, and Umberto Eco as a means for understanding the works
from a twenty-first century viewpoint. She finds connections between the works and hyperfiction and new multimedia applications such as net art and video games as well and discusses the
relationship between computers and the humanities at the end of the twentieth century, the connection between hyperlinks and Borge's idea of forking paths, and links the stories and the
internet as both hypertextual environments and labyrinth-like. She also ties the stories to chaos theory, bifurcation theory, and noise, and connects them to works by Stuart Moulthrop and
