Ms Fnd In A Lbry


Apparently, "Hal Draper took a break from his life's work of promoting Marxism, and wrote one science fiction story.", this being 'Ms Fnd in a Lbry' (<http://math.cofc.edu/faculty/kasman/MATHFICT/mf242.html>), which deals with the problem of indexing all humanity's knowledge, ending up with indexes of the indexes, indexes of the indexes of the indexes, etc, which leads naturally to infinitude. And then society collapses, or something.

Hmm - SF About Libraries?
