Edge: THE UNIVERSAL LIBRARY By George Dyson

Edge: THE UNIVERSAL LIBRARY By George Dyson: "[GEORGE DYSON:] Books are strings of code. But they have mysterious properties — like strings of DNA. Somehow, the author captures a fragment of the universe, unravels it into a one-dimensional sequence, squeezes it through a keyhole, and hopes that a three-dimensional vision emerges in the reader's mind. The translation is never exact."
