The Garden of Forking Paths written by Borges in 1941 and performed by the reader whenever it is read.

...And what a garden it is. A garden with a cadaver that needs to be cleaned up.

However, the maintenance of such things is not of importance.

This story made me think of the book "The World is Flat" and in a way the two pieces discuss similar things. In "The World is Flat", Thomas L. Friedman discusses the ways in which the internet and globalization have "flattened" the world. In Borges' short story, he introduces this notion of simultaneous realities and "flattens" the globe of linear analysis thus transforming it into an interactive web of information.
