有个基于这个脑洞写的好玩故事，斯蒂芬·佩克（Steven Peck）的《地狱短暂停留》（A Short Stay in Hell）[0]。故事里主角死后在一个地狱里醒来，那地方基本上就是个变相的巴别图书馆。那里还有其他人。如果你能……你就可以离开
There is a fun story based off this idea, A Short Stay in Hell by Steven Peck [0]. In the story the character dies and wakes up in a kind of hell that is basically a version of the library of Babel. There are other people there. You're allowed to leave if you can…
这让我想起一本非常有趣且引人深思的书，叫《地狱短暂停留》，作者是斯蒂芬·佩克。它为“无穷”以及“极大但有限的时间跨度”提供了一个颇具趣味的视角。讲的是一个摩门教徒下了地狱（因为琐罗亚斯德教恰好才是宇宙唯一真……

关于这书还有一个变体，叫《地狱短暂停留》（2009），作者是斯蒂芬·L·佩克。读起来既有趣又让人后背发凉。特别是如果你对超大数字有概念的话。

今年读的几本书：-《地狱短暂停留》（科幻）：对巴别图书馆的现代演绎。挺暗黑的。很快就能读完。- 石黑一雄的《被掩埋的巨人》。名义上是奇幻，但其实不完全是。跟他别的书一样写得很棒。-《像这样的小事》（Small things like these）……
Couple of books from this year: - A short stay in hell (sci-fi): A modern take on Library of Babel. Pretty dark. Quick read. - The Burried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. Nominally fantasy, but not really. Great, like his other books. - Small things like these…
……不可能的。你得找多少只猴子抛硬币，才能连续抛出 30 次正面？现在想象一下，这相当于在键盘上连续成千上万次敲对正确的字母。我推荐去读读《地狱短暂停留》这个故事。
