…(Cavett) nor the author of this article (O'Connell) seem to be very familiar with Borges' writings. No one who has read Borges' half a dozen essays on the war (written before and during WW2, collected in "Selected Non-Fictions") could accuse him of "refusal to engage with politics", at least as far as Hitler was concerned. I quote: "If I had the tragic honor of being German, I would not resign myself to sacrificing to mere…
By far my favorite author. Most people begin by reading his short stories (which are amazing), but they should also read his non-fiction. I recommend Borges: Selected Non-Fictions. As far as I know he never discusses software or computer science explicitly, but all of his work is saturated with ideas relating to these things.
Borges is most widely read for his fiction, but his Selected Non-Fictions[1] is life altering. Through his collection of nonfiction essays, one can begin to appreciate his unique place among 20th-century writers. [1]: http://www.amazon.com/Borges-Selected-Non-Fictions-Jorge-Lui...
Jorge Luis Borges, Selected Non-Fictions, 1999. I first encountered Borges as a 15 year old student in high school. I am now 56. The book was ficciones. It changed my life. Borges read everything. What made him the genius that he was, is that…
Alternatively, you could check out his non-fiction, say Selected Non-Fictions (https://www.amazon.com/Borges-Selected-Non-Fictions-Jorge-Lu...). Checking the table of contents, I particularly like "A New Refutation of Time" (Available from Gwern: https://www.gwern.net/docs/borges/1947-borges-anewrefutation...),…

……（卡维特）和本文作者（奥康奈尔）似乎都对博尔赫斯的作品不甚了解。读过博尔赫斯关于战争的六篇随笔（写于二战前和二战期间，收录于《非虚构作品选》）的人，谁也不会指责他“拒绝参与政治”——至少就希特勒而言绝非如此。引述他的原话：“如果我怀有身为德国人的悲剧性荣幸，我绝不甘心将自己献祭给纯粹的……

绝对是我最爱的作家，没有之一。大多数人都是从读他的短篇小说（确实精彩绝伦）开始的，但也应该读读他的非虚构作品。我推荐《博尔赫斯：非虚构作品选》（Selected Non-Fictions）。据我所知，他从未明确讨论过软件或计算机科学，但他所有的作品都渗透着与这些事物相关的理念。

博尔赫斯最广为人知的是他的虚构小说，但他的《非虚构作品选》[1] 绝对能改变人生。透过他的这本非虚构随笔集，读者才能真正开始领略他在 20 世纪作家中独树一帜的地位。[1]: http://www.amazon.com/Borges-Selected-Non-Fictions-Jorge-Lui...

豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯，《非虚构作品选》，1999 年。我第一次接触博尔赫斯还是个 15 岁的高中生，现在我已经 56 岁了。那本书是《虚构集》，它改变了我的人生。博尔赫斯博览群书。让他成为一代天才的原因在于，……

或者，你也可以看看他的非虚构作品，比如《非虚构作品选》（https://www.amazon.com/Borges-Selected-Non-Fictions-Jorge-Lu...）。翻翻目录，我特别喜欢《时间新驳》（Gwern 网站上有收录：https://www.gwern.net/docs/borges/1947-borges-anewrefutation...）……
